"Worry"

     I worry a lot about worrying too much. I know it isn't good for me. I guess everyone worries from time to time, and probably worries that it's too much. Intellectually, I know that everyone worries about something, but sometimes I wonder what that thing could possibly be? 


     I see plenty of people who clearly aren't worried about the way they are driving. Although some of them are worried about how their make-up looks while they're driving. Some are worried about text messages, coffee and sandwiches, nose picking, but not driving. 


     I notice a fair amount of people worry at work, although not necessarily about their own work and certainly not the quality of their work. It's usually about your work, or the lack of your work, or the amount of work they are being asked to do.


     I know people worry about their friends, but they tend to be worried that their friends might somehow have it better than them, or are taking short-cuts, or simply have it easy because the Universe chooses to smile on them.


     People are always worried about family, because families are worrisome. 
   "This seems okay now, but I'm worried my family will somehow fuck it up." And, of course, they do. 
   "Junior's appendicitis fucked up my whole fishing trip."


     It worries me that people worry about these things, and I'm worried that all this worrying is for naught. In a hundred years, no one's gonna give a shit. So I'm going to be progressive and start not giving a shit about it now.
