“We suffer more in imagination than reality” – Seneca
I was thinking about this idea recently as I found myself mulling over a potential issue. The key, of course, is that it was a potential issue – not a real one.
I reminded myself that there is no point suffering twice.
Turns out there was no need to suffer – there wasn’t an issue in the end.
We suffer more in imagination indeed. Things are often not as bad as they first seem.
