Why worry

in our modern existential anxiety,… we worry… …that our children may grow up without the skills they need to be successful.
There is a form of not knowing, from not having reflected or thought, and an inspired way, being sufficiently educated that we realize how absurdly little we know.
Maybe we shouldn’t look too far ahead and miss what is presently before is, and maybe we should look at everything that is ahead, not only what we wish would be there.
Anxiety is nothing but fear inspired by an imagined future collapse. It is the failure of trust.
