A very wise man told me once, If you start playing "The What If" game, then you automatically lost.
I use to say that to my late sister as she was very good at conjuring of impossible scenarios. I usually concuded with, "what if an atomic bomb was dropped in NYC, then we wouldn't wouldn't have to worry about "what if" anymore.That stopped her what iffing in front of me. Obsiously she turned into a hypocondriac who imagine all kinds of ailments..
BTW - You know what the hypocondriac had chiseled on their tombstone, "I told you a was sick".
