I worry about the people who don't have the depth of knowledge, perspective, judgement, common sense or plain good thinking to know what to worry about and what to be afraid of (obviously I know)

It’s what we are taught to do these days. Fear allows control.

Did it ever occur to you it's just a figure of speech and no one is actually sitting biting their nails or hiding under their beds??

I never worry about anything..... ever. Worrying is a waste of time. It is in itself, harmful -- both physically and mentally to the worrier.

I can be concerned about something, but that isn't the same as worrying. If I see a situation and can control it, then I plan and prepare for it. If I can't control it, then I ask myself "What's the worst that can happen"?

My great grandmother used to tell me to expect the worst and hope for the best.

Talking

I worry when playing golf, that my PROV1 is not going to make it over the water.
And I switch balls. I could do like some other golfer and hit a Villages range ball and if it doesn't make it, wait around a week for it to drift to the bank...

I sometimes think I don't have a fear gene. I really am not paranoid about things, that said I am savvy about situations and keep myself out of danger.

Cancer didn't kill me, but it really messed me up! Don't think I'm stronger from it. The thought sounds good, but not true in every case, sadly.
