The Result of Worry
Two men were walking along a road together. One of them was a cheerful, happy go-lucky fellow who had no worries. He believed if he worked as well as he could all would turn out well in the future. But the other man always saw the dark side of things. He was worried about what would happen to him in old age when he was not able to work any more. He feared he would be in need of money and perhaps have to beg for a living. He began to fear that he might even go blind in his eyes. To try what blindness would be like, he started walking with his eyes shut. While he was doing this, he missed seeing a purse full of gold coins lying on the road. His companion, who was walking happily along with no worries, spotted the purse and picked it up. He thanked God for taking care of his future!
