No Sense in Worrying About What You Can't Control? | discard92's Blog

That never made much sense to me.  Still doesn't.  It's somewhat ignorant when we get right down to it.  If you can't control something, then what are you supposed to do?  You have cancer?  You might be dead within the month?  Don't worry about it!

I realize worrying doesn't do much good in any circumstance, but worrying about shit is part of human nature.  We're going to worry about stuff.  And if we're told not to worry about the stuff we can't control, then we should worry about the stuff we can control.  Yeah, that makes sense.  You might fail the class if you don't pass the next history test?  Oh my God, what are you going to do?!

Maybe I'm taking this far too literally (as I do quite often), but I'm getting sick of hearing it.  People tell me that all the time - it's fucking irritating.
