S + T = E = P + L + S

Worrying. It is an normal reaction to emotion... mostly fear of the unknown. Or of fear of what could happen. And human nature being what it is we expect the worst possible scenario. Or is that human nature? I have learned that human nature is the total of inheritance and upbringing and individuality. By nature I am a worrier. But I have learned that worrying does not stop things from happening.... worry or not they still happen. And worry or not they still do not happen. We worry about an exam test which we complete, then we worry about the result.... no amount of worrying will change the result, be it good or bad. Worry takes up so much of our energy, reduces us to negative people who will cry at the drop of a hat. Is it really worth it? No, but it took a lot to get me thinking like that. So I have a choice, do I worry myself sick that something bad is going to happen, or do I postpone the worry when the something bad actually happens? And what if something good happens, then the worry will have been useless. Useless... worry is useless either way. Sometimes worry is because we have lost faith in the Higher Power, although even that sometimes is powerless. So we have faith in ourselves, human beings, the splitting image of God.

So the equation goes... Stimuli + Thought = Emotion = P + L + S.... it needn't be worry, try and put that on hold.... difficult, but worth a million tries. Know that, been there already. And in my heart I pray for a friend, for Peace, Love and Serenity.
