“No, what worries me is that I might in a sense adapt to this environment and come to be comfortable here and not resent it anymore. And I am afraid that as the years go by that I may forget, I may begin to lose my memories of the mountains and the woods and that's what really worries me, that I might lose those memories, and lose that sense of contact with wild nature in general. But I am not afraid they are going to break my spirit.” YearsMayMightSpiritLosesMemoriesForgetBreakWorryEnvironmentMountainComfortableWoodsContactNot AfraidResent Author:Theodore Kaczynski
“Worry is different from fear. If fear is like a raging fever, worry is a low-grade temperature. It nags at us, simmers in our souls, hovers in the back of our minds like a faint memory. We may fear certain realities, like death; we worry about vague possibilities. Worry distracts us more than paralyzes us. It is like a leaky faucet we never get around to fixing.” IfsMindMayDifferentSoulRealityCertainMemoriesWorryPossibilityLowsRageGradesVagueTemperatureFeverFixing Author:Gerald Lawson Sittser
“As we get older it is our short term memory that fades rather than our long term memory.

“It struck me that the popularity of Christmas is a matter of web-like consciousness. Childhood conditions us to relax and expand at Christmas, to forget petty worries and irritations and think in terms of universal peace. And so Christmas is the nearest to mystical experience that most human beings ever approach, with its memories of Dickens and Irving's Bracebridge Hall.” ThinkingHumansMatterTermMemoriesHuman BeingsForgetConsciousnessWorryChildhoodConditionsApproachUniversalChristmasRelaxHallsPopularityMysticalPettyDickensIrritationMystical Experiences Author:Colin Wilson
