Berlin, June 2022:

„So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for each day.“ Thus spoke a preacher of old who caused quite a stir—as can be read in Matthew 6:24 ff. At the birth of the child who, as an adult, coined the motto „one day, one worry,“ the still-popular wise kings from the East traveled, as is well known, to bring him gifts—regardless of the fact that newborns initially have little use for gold, myrrh, and frankincense. Times have changed, and with them the distribution of worries across the days. Whoever is born today would do well to think about tomorrow and the days after as soon as possible. Those who are lucky will even encounter some wise men from the day after tomorrow bearing gifts that will prove to be the most valuable on a distant day.
