The more things change…

“Cease to hope and you will cease to fear. (Hope and fear) are bound up with one another... widely different... the two of them march in unison like a prisoner and the escort he is handcuffed to... both belong to a mind in suspense, to a mind in a state of anxiety.... Wild animals run from the dangers they actually see, and once they have escaped them worry no more. We however are tormented alike by what is past and what is to come. A number of our blessings do us harm, for memory brings back the agony of fear while foresight brings it on prematurely. No one confines his unhappiness to the present.” - Seneca
