None of the above really. Worry bring unneeded stress in ones life, and makes you miserable about things you can't even control.
Terrorism: It needs to be dealt with in some fashion, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
Global warming: Due to my scientific backround I view this about as worrisome as an asteroid strike. Its happened before, it will happen again, and not a damn thing we are going to do about it right now besides worry. Hell I'd be more worried about asteroids as we CAN do something about them.
Economics: Personal or global, one I've done my best to secure the other is a factor beyond my control.
Disease: Worth being worried about, but only if you have one. I've been taking anti-biotics for over a month due to a nasty spore forming infection, so I'm mildly worried about it, but once its taken care of, I won't worry about getting one. If people are talking about the bird flu (tm) then I'm most definately not worried, its akin to a natural disaster, nothing for me to do but wait and see and avoid the hype.
My childrens future: Parenthood 101 there. There hasn't been a parent worth a damn who hasn't worried about their childrens future.
Government path: I suppose if I lived in Europe this would be a bit more troubling as they have more issues to deal with which I think will make their governments unstable, but for me, even if the party who can't seem to call a terrorist a terrorist comes into power, we have enough checks and balances to keep any lasting harm from happening. Some day it will come to a head, but that day is not now. (If you pm me I'll put you on the list of the spared
)
What is really on my mind as a source of concern (not really worry)?
1 - We have friends which may be transfered to Texas. These are the best friends my wife and I have.
2 - Wife is talking about child number 2 soon
3 - I've been somewhat bored as of late and can't find an outlet for it.
Even so being worried serves no purpose, being worried gets nothing fixed, makes you miserable, and in some cases neurotic. Enjoy life.
