Here is a collection of essays based on "What we should worry about" as noted by top Scientists and Writers.
They come up with some interesting worries, not necessarily the same old Solar Flares, Global Warming conversations.

I saw the movie 4:44 End of the World yesterday for the first time. An excellent movie with a lot of emotion and some great messages.
I particularly liked the one, where Sky's mother is talking to her via Skype (I think it's called) and she starts ranting on the fact that we can't smoke a cigarette anywhere, because it's dangerous and unhealthy.
But, behind our backs, they are chopping down the rainforests of the World to build new Golf Courses.
My mind used to always look for things to worry about... no more, I'm done with that. No worries mon! :D
You shouldn't have to "worry" at all!
Worrying has never helped a situation... EVER. :)
Worrying is you making stuff up about what could happen in the future. Realize this... then stop making stuff up!

Worrying is useless, being intelligently informed is another thing. :wink:
To solve worry.
Think of the worst possible outcome.
Know within yourself that it can't happen.
Say to yourself "things are already better".
Worrying has gone...
:-D
Too many people tell us that we have to worry. Fear is mankind's worst enemy. Being informed about all of humanity's cesspits that exist, yes, that's a necessity. But we should not be told to be in fear. Had enough of people telling us that. This must stop. People should never listen to other people doing fear-mongery.
Hindsight is 20/20,, so they should go to work on solving those problems so they don't become real scenarios of the future.
If they can see it on paper, they can also use that paper to fix it.
