The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Wife, et al by Anton Chekhov: know why you worry yourself. Don't disturb yourself, my dear
fellow! Upon my word, there's no need," he whispered genuinely
and affectionately, soothing me as though I were a child. "Upon
my word, there's no need."
"No need? Why, the peasants are pulling the thatch off their
huts, and they say there is typhus somewhere already."
"Well, what of it? If there are good crops next year, they'll
thatch them again, and if we die of typhus others will live after
us. Anyway, we have to die -- if not now, later. Don't worry
yourself, my dear."
"I can't help worrying myself," I said irritably.
