We are apt to quarre! with our
troubles under the mistaken idea that
they have been set upon us and not
realizing that we have all along un
consciously been appropriating them
to ourselves. Every one has a choice
of troubles, and it depends largely
upon himself as to the ones he shall
select. This being so, let us take
thought of tomorrow, that we may
suffer as we chooae anm not blindly.
There is a set of married troubles,
and one for bachelors only. Which
will you have? Yours is the choice.
A baby is a great trouble. Is it
well to have him? Is it wise to tale
him on, or will some other trouble
equally formidable be better for us in
the long run?
Any amount of trouble may be
caused by too much money. Shall we
run the risk or not?
A kiss has often caused no end of
trouble. And it is like'y to lead to
others.
Let us have patience and take time
to make our selection. The worst of
it is that by the time we have learned
the standing of various troubles, their
nature and ways, it is too late to
change. And we cannot Ibngin all
over again. So that in the end we
may be saddled with troubles that we
would willingly exchange for others,
if we had only known about them
earlier.-Tom Mason in Puck.
