In all matters affecting our weal or woe, we should becareful not to let our imagination run away with us, and build nocastles in the air. In the first place, they are expensive to build, because we have to pull them down again immediately, and that isa source of grief. We should be still more on our guard againstdistressing our hearts by depicting possible misfortunes. If thesewere misfortunes of a purely imaginary kind, or very remote andunlikely, we should at once see, on awaking from our dr...eam, that thewhole thing was mere illusion; we should rejoice all the more ina reality better than our dreams, or at most, be warned againstmisfortunes which, though very remote, were still possible. These, however, are not the sort of playthings in which imagination delights;it is only in idle hours that we build castles in the air, and theyare always of a pleasing description. The matter which goes to formgloomy dreams are mischances which to some extent really threaten us, though it be from some distance; imagination makes us look larger andnearer and more terrible than they are in reality.
