IRISH PHILOSOPHY

The Irish have a philosophical, humorous acceptance of the misfortunes of life, summed up by the phrase 'ah, sure, it could be worse'.

IRISH PHILOSOPHY

In life, there are only two things to worry about -
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, there is nothing to worry about,
But if you are sick, there are only two things to worry about -
Either you will get well or you wiil die.
If you get well, there is nothing to worry about,
But if you die, there are only two things to worry about -
Either you will go to heaven or to hell.
If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about.
And if you go to hell, you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends
You won't have time to worry!
