To make the children understand worry.
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
An unwanted but continuous
stream of words happening inside
us all the time is worry.
ABOUT THE TOPIC:
An unwanted but continuous steam of words happening inside us all the time. Worry is what happens when you constantly compare yourself against external frames of reference and continuously chatter to yourself about it. Over time, this sets in as your mental make-up. Your very mental make-up becomes worry. As. a child, each of us is strongly centered in our own being. As we grow up, society teaches us to evaluate ourselves by the ideas and opinions of others. Society makes us dependent on external support, certificates from others, for each of our actions and words. This is why we are all the time worried about what others will say about us.
Also, when you worry about something, you feel you have a definite point of reference against which to run your life. That is why worrying gives a direction to your life. Without worry, you feel as if you have no axis about which to move. And so you actually nurture your worries. When you are in worry, you feel you are someone. You feel solid. When you are free from worrying, you are in bliss, but in this dimension you are nobody!
There is no material to keep you
occupied. There is nothing to
solve. You feel insecure, like a
non-entity. To enjoy worry-less
state, you need to first drop your
ego about wanting to be a solid
entity. Worry itself is your decision
to give food to the mind and keep
it occupied. On top of this, each
person thinks that only he has got
a lot of worries and that only he is
unhappy, and everyone else is very
happy! But the strange thing is,
every one thinks this way!
