Worry

The destructive quality of worry is indicated by the fact that the word itself is derived from an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning ``to choke.'' If someone were to put his fingers around your throat and press hard, cutting off the flow of vital power, it would be a dramatic demonstration of what you do to yourself by long-held and habitual worry.
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale; The Power of Positive Thinking (Prentice Hall)

You may be a happy natured person that has no interest in any definition of worry. However, here is a simple one given by a biochemist: ``Worry can be chemically defined as the psychic reaction of somatic saturation with paralytic acid and monosomic phosphate.''
Nashau Cavalier

Standing on a platform after a hard day, a man carrying a heavy suitcase complained of weariness.
``Well,'' said his companion sensibly, ``why not put down that suitcase? It's ten minutes yet till train time.''
That is the way a great many people worry. They do not do it intentionally. But how can you stop worrying? The answer is simple: Put the suitcase down when it is not necessary to carry it.!
Roy L. Smith; Christian Advocate
