Things happen. And you turn them over and over in your mind, wondering, contemplating, considering different possibilities. Sometimes you can’t think of anything else, except that one thing. And it could be anything; everyone has different things that they think about. It all depends on the person, or the place, or the time, or the situation, or anything else for that matter. Why is it that that one little thing will not leave us alone? You can tell it to go away, and yet it always comes back, if it ever went away at all.
Why do we think, I wonder? Why do we worry or stress? Why is it that our brains allow us to over think things? Surely they should be wired in such a way that those things don’t happen? That’s what evolution is: adapting to best suit the environment that the animal is in. Because that’s all we are after all, just animals adapted to make best use of the environment that we were placed in.
And after you have thought, and thought, and thought again about that little thing, sometimes you realise that it doesn’t matter. You can think all you like, but that’s not going to bring that thought into reality. It’s not going to change the situation. Sometimes you realise that it doesn’t matter if you know or not. Knowing isn’t going to be any use to you, so why are you spending hours agonising over whether it is or it isn’t? Why are you weighing everything up, picking bits from here and there and trying to piece them together to give you an answer? When people say “I just need to know”. Why? Knowing doesn’t make a difference. By having you know doesn’t change the situation.
There’s no point then, in you stressing. In you worrying about whether it is a ye or a nay. What will happen is going to happen and there is no point in you spending all of you energy on worrying.
Don’t stress, it all works out in the end.
