[W]orries often say more about the worrier than about the world.
A quote from John Armstrong. It makes me wonder (and goads me to plot on paper somehow) what my worries say about me, and how those worries connect with the actual world I experience.
And a little more from him:
So, addressing money worries should be quite different from dealing with money troubles. To address our worries we have to give attention to the pattern of thinking (ideology) and to the scheme of values (culture) as these are played out in our won individual, private existences.
