Life is full of perils, but the wise man ignores those that are inevitable, and acts prudently but without emotion as regards those that can be avoided. You cannot avoid dying, but you can avoid dying intestate ; therefore make your will, and forget that you are mortal. Rational provision against misfortune is a totally different thing from fear .
