Yeah, this sounds great and everything, but I see several problems:
1. If I cared about everything my ulcer would be totally untreatable and
I would be worthless because my entire being would be plagued with worry
and doubt. Therefore, I am selective about what I will worry about and
will probably choose things that effect me the most.
2. When I do worry about something (such as this so-called fairness
ammendment thingy) If I don't worry in the same way or from the same
perspective as certain others, I am accused of being apathetic at best, a
hate-monger at worst. So I worry and am still considered apathetic.
3. One man's carrying out of justice is another man's miscarriage of
justice. (i.e. the aforementioned fairness ammendment thingy)
4. I can only view life in terms of my personal box. I'm not responsible
for what I don't know or what I truly believe is not important. If I
gain new information or my heart is changed then, and only then, will my
box change - along with what I worry about.
5. Worrying is debilitating and is not of G-d.
6. I am really trying to slow down the greying process!
Just some thoughts to worry about...
