97% of worrying a waste of time

Featured Replies

Lo and behold, it turns out that 85 percent of what subjects worried about never happened, and with the 15 percent that did happen, 79 percent of subjects discovered either they could handle the difficulty better than expected, or the difficulty taught them a lesson worth learning. This means that 97 percent of what you worry over is not much more than a fearful mind punishing you with exaggerations and misperceptions.

    That is such old information already. It's been said by philosophers for centuries. This is merely regurgitated and anecdotal footnotes in an attempt to act like a great thinker. Boring.

There is a reason why such a person like Trump was elected! Start elaborate and brake down the analysis about that miracle. 

 

Because people believe in lies and worry to much, that's the reason

Thats really it, isnt it?

 

Unchecked illegal  immigration is bad.

Discrimination is bad.

Restrictions on free speech are bad.

Global warming is a hoax.

Muslims only listen if you beat them first.

Jews arent conspiring to take over the world.

Socialism is bad.

Europe are a bunch of leeches.

Only folks with a real dlck are men

Drill baby drill

 

That covers the reality of life

The old FungFu TV show. Our hero is in a barn full of hay with other people. The bad guys have surrounded the barn and are threatening to burn it down. When asked if he was worried, he replied, " No, If they burn us out, all the worrying won't help me, and if they don't I would have worried for nothing." That is true about most things, but worrying can also start you thinking of ways to change the outcome.

Yes, the fairly new 'top poster ranking' just accelerates the decline of this forum.

I was going to give the OP a thumbs down, but then I thought, what’s the point? It’s already racking up nothing but thumbs down. That’d be like punching a loser in the nose when he’s already sporting two black eyes.

My main worry is getting a nasty, hateful reply from one of my comments to the OP on threads by a member on his warrior keyboard

Its actually accolades. The more you get in this place, the more you know you have told the truth.

 

Here, watch for thumbs down:

 

Hamas is a murderous terrorist organization.

Easily remedied by not making most of your replies about "trashy" foreigners and sticking to replies that help others or just make a good discussion. And to stop assuming things about people you know nothing about.

Like a deer giving a thumbs down to a lion. You're a deer boy.

You are living in a fantasy world Freddy. 

Get off your warrior keyboard and enjoy the morning, it's a lovely day.

He's right though. This site has dozens of no hopers on it. The highlight of their sad lives is giving out thumbs down. They never do anything interesting.

Actually it is very easy to see right thru people on this site. I can tell a person in 5 posts. I can tell Khunla has had an interesting life. I can tell Short Timer is a loser. It's not difficult at all.

No, I'm just a lot more aware of what's real than you are. I see things exactly how they are, as prejudice isn't a part of my makeup.

Yes it's a badge of honour. It's like football fans giving them out to players they don't like.
