How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happen

Summary

This quote suggests that we often experience unnecessary pain and suffering as a result of worrying about potential evils or negative outcomes that may never actually happen. It highlights the tendency humans have to dwell on hypothetical scenarios and the emotional toll it can take on us. It serves as a reminder to focus on the present and not let our worries and fears unnecessarily consume us, as such anticipation of future troubles can rob us of our present contentment and happiness.
