He can't be worrying about the past or the future or the crowd or some other extraneous event.

“Basically, if the mind stays in the present, it's impossible to worry. Upon careful consideration, it becomes clear that human beings are capable of worrying only about an event that has already transpired or one that may take place in the future (although the occurrence might have just happened or may be about to happen in the next instant). The present moment contains no time or space for worry.” IfsMindHumansMayMomentsMightHappensNextHuman BeingsSpaceWorryClearMeditationImpossibleHappenedEventsCapableYogaCarefulInstantConsiderationPresent Moment Author:H.

“Our past cannot be changed, and to be preoccupied with it is inefficient in time and effort. Likewise, by fretting over the future, we only exhaust ourselves, making us less able to effectively respond when the future is actually upon us. By worrying about a mishap that may or may not take place, we're forced to undergo the event twice-once when imagining it and once again if and when we actually experience it.” IfsMayAblePastEffortWorryMeditationEventsChangedOur PastIfs AndFrettingMishaps Author:H.

“I never thought about whether film is inherently more sincere, because certainly I think if Guy Maddin had directed A Series Of Unfortunate Events, there probably could have been more of the stage-y irony that is in the books.

“If we return abruptly to a Miocene-like climate, it's reasonable to think that we would experience a lot of extinctions, and maybe even a mass extinction in the long term. Would the life on Earth be radically different? Of course we can't say for sure, but I think a lot of it would look familiar. Like a lot of people, I worry a lot about whether marine mammals would survive, especially whales. Ocean acidification is one of the major killers in climate change events, and that makes the ocean a very inhospitable place.” PeopleIfsThinkingLooksLongDifferentEarthCoursesTermWorryEventsReturnOceanMajorsMassClimateClimate ChangeFamiliarLong TermReasonableKillersMarineExtinctionWhalesMammalsMass ExtinctionOcean Acidification Author:Annalee Newitz
