Are WORRIES edible?

I was watching a show just now and several lines from the script were really electrifying. A young man was drowning his sorrows in alcohol while he confided in an old lady who had gone crazy. Young man: I am so stressed. I have so many worries! Crazy lady: What are worries? Are they edible? Young man: No, of course not. Crazy lady: Then why are you paying attention to them? Any comment? If no, read again. The Chinese have a saying that outsiders who are not involved in the situation can see things relatively clear. Conversely, when something happens to you, you are usually too blinded to extricate yourself from it. To the crazy old lady above, she took the young man's comment literally. The young man said that he had many worries so it seemed logically for her to ask if those "worries" were edible and food for the stomach. If they are not, why pay attention to them? Why even bother? Few of us can honestly claim that we are free from worries. When problems are pressing themselves on our consciousness, how do we deal with them? Do we keep thinking about them? Do we accept them and try to think of solutions? Do we ignore them? Do we push to others? Or... ? See what myLotters have to say at "Are WORRIES edible?"
