Worry

what vast damage is done to the once healthy body when the stress of life comes into focus bearing down upon the back, turning the hair gray making the hair fall out & making the heart palpitate rendering the body useless, soon to deteriorate from the inside out--- our cells shrink & wither our arteries get filled & stuffed up with plaque all corresponding to the lifestyle of 21st century "progress"--- so this is what we have evolved for? this place where the common goal of all humans is to make more money or die trying? and we watch our bodies fall apart & we listen to our own screams tell the tale of the "bliss" that we have attained, having come this far, finding that if there is nothing to worry about, that there is a new worry that because there is nothing at present to worry about, a new surprise worry is coming!
