Two days ago I spoke of going to the doctor and being influenced by her attitudes and comments, causing me to worry about possible future problems, very real possibilities but no real reason to worry. The same sort of thing happens when I listen to the news or read the paper. I begin to worry about things that are either out of my control, none of my business or may never happen. I prefer to think and feel that “the universe is unfolding as it should”, but I am fickle and easily influenced. I prefer to live in peace and love, dealing with reality as it happens. On the other hand, news reports, TV and newspapers are frequently designed to enhance the drama and, often, cause a person to worry.
