ONLY ONE WORRY

Rabbi Mordecai of Lekovitz said:

"We must not worry. Only one worry is permissable: a man should worry about nothing but worry."

From Tales of the Hasidim by Martin Buber.

    Is that like "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself"?

    JCF, in my experience, worry never did me a damned bit of good, but it did make me sick, at times. I'm trying to wean myself off worry, which is not easy, as I'm a natural worrier. I am doing better than in the past, and I believe the rabbi is right.

    I worry that I am not worried enough.

    Fred, Rabbi Mordecai don't like that. Stop it now!
