SAY NO TO WORRIES AND RELY ON THE BENEVOLENC­E OF GOD

Worries are the most integral part of human life. They exist until a man takes his last breath. The presence of anxieties shows us that we are alive. If life and worries are inseparabl­e and inevitably interwoven, then a very important question arises is: Why do panic when worries turn up? It is followed by yet another equally important question: How to fight worries with ease?

In life, worries cannot be uprooted. They originate naturally from the daily activities which we need to outdo. The continuous thought to cease worries from life will only create havoc, altering the basic principles of life. So what we can do is to tame our anxieties. However, that’s not an easy task.

Insulating ourselves from worries requires a different bent of mind. It also requires a deep understand of the modus operandi of life.

First, we shouldn’t take life for granted. The only thing constant in this world is change. And when we take these changes stoically, we are able to be immune to its repercussi­ons. And as a human being we do not have any control upon what happens to us. We all are only puppets into the hands of the invisible omnipotent. He is the greatest physician, who keeps on prescribin­g the most apt medicine in the form of a host of changes which befall us. Going against these prescripti­ons means only getting vulnerable to worries.
