“A wider view of my circumstances will make me better able to deal with all difficulties, big and little.” (ODAT, 22 September)

One can take such a wide view as to recognise that one will die, and then one’s problems really will be solved, once and for all.

Oddly, this is comforting.

Since the problem will be solved, why worry?

One might as well enjoy oneself.
