"مردی که از رنج کشیدن می‌هراسد قبلاً از آنچه که می‌ترسد رنج می‌کشد"

Michel de Montaigne

Simplified Meaning:

When someone is really scared of something bad happening, they start to feel the pain and worry, even if that bad thing hasn't happened yet. It's like if you're really afraid of failing a test. You might spend so much time being anxious about failing that you're already feeling stressed and upset long before you even take the test. This constant worrying makes you suffer twice—once from your own fear and once again if the bad thing actually happens. It's better to try to stay calm and deal with problems when they come, rather than letting fear make you unhappy all the time. For example, if you're afraid of public speaking, you might spend days or even weeks feeling nervous. But if you focus on preparing your speech and practicing, you might feel more confident and reduce your anxiety. So, by facing your fears directly, you avoid unnecessary stress and can handle challenges better.
