    Yes, it is true that worry is absolutely useless.
    So patience... is nothing...

    Maybe it scares/numbs/bores you into doing the right thing?

    Maybe... but once you make a choice to do the right thing, there is no worry. If you consciously decide to try to do right in everything, there is no use for worry.

    There is no use for worry because if you do not consciously decide to do right, then who cares? We think we do, we think the worrying signifies that. It's just fear and mental trauma. It doesn't achieve anything. WE achieve. Do we really need that kind of motivation? Do we want it?

    I use worrying to help me stay focused. The things that I worry about are the things that I want to eventually give my full attention. I will agree with you that sometimes it is a collosal waste of energy--like when you worry about stuff you can't control. I try not to worry about stuff I can't control. But the stuff that I can control and know I'm going to have to deal with will always make me worry. It's all about staying focused for me.

    And every block from all around
    Comes runnin' to the park when they hear the sound
    And soon the word's spreadin' through our part of town
    "Yo, 40 Park y'all, Jam-On's gettin down"

    That sounds more like concern than worry to me. Worry tends to paralyze you to the point that it actually causes you to focus so much that you can't get things done. Concern means that you give extra attention to detail to make sure you get things done.

    The way I look at it anyway.

    That sounds like transforming worry into change, to me.

    Worry is useless. Genuine concern, thinking, and planning are the key.

    Worry = bad
    it says so in The Bible

    I guess what I'm saying is very intense concern then, but it sure seemed like worrying to me.

    Yeah Louis.... I getcha. It's all just words anyway, and I think we all probably mean the same thing... some of us just don't like the word "worry" for what it signifies, to us. =)

    When you're worried, your face will frown.
    That will bring everybody down.

    Well, worrying is useless and pointless. It does nothing good and it creates stress.

    Jerry: Like when a man goes swimming... afterwards...

    Elaine: It shrinks?

    Jerry: Like a frightened turtle!

    Elaine: Why does it shrink?

    George: It just does.

    Elaine: I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.

    I haven't drank any beer in over a month. I haven't even wanted any type of alcohol for a second.
    But I wouldn't stop drinking alcohol because I was worried about my brain shrinking.
