Learning to Worry

Jonathan Kellerman wrote, "I went to school to learn 'how' to worry." This is a very powerful sentence when you think about it.

When people are not in school they seldom think beyond themselves, styles, or "when do we eat?" But, when we go to school we learn "how to worry" about global warming, the poor state of economics, dirty politics, and the unfairness of the judiciary system. Now we have to learn how to worry about other problems in the world other than ourselves.
