worry.

Worry is the selective disturbance of one's own mind due to the fear of an occurrence or situation that, directly or indirectly, would affect one's concern and interest. However, this possibility of an occurrence should inherently imply the probability of it not occurring as well, and thus, naturally ought to be granted equal weight, even though the opposite probabilities might not be matched. To put it simply, the consideration of both the occurrence and non-occurrence of the subject of worry ought to be the same. Why then, should either of which - or more importantly, the cause of worry - be given predominance?

Furthermore, the establishment of worry often elevates the mind into unnecessary anxiety, as well as hypersensitivity to areas involved with the topic of concern. This could further lead to over- as well as mis-interpretation of insignificant details which may be determined as a supporting premise for either case. As a result, we have a snowball effect and the worry worsens.

Above all, a possibility is only a possibility, which, can by no means affect anyone directly, simply because it is only a postulation of what has not happened. In the case where our feared (or otherwise) situation actualizes, we do not actually proceed to "worry" about that given situation anymore, but it's potential consequences. That is as good as saying, we never actually worry about anything of immediate relevance to the present. We only worry about the future.

As such, there is no true justification for whatever worry one might induce upon oneself, but to say it is only of our carnal nature that we react to our own speculations of the future in such a way. In other words, it is completely useless to worry, though it is still beneficial to keep open one's mind open to possible consequences of situations in life that would keep one, mentally, a step ahead.
