Worry and Control
#12
RE: Worry and Control
Guys I am not talking about free will, that doesn't exist.

I am talking about not knowing whether I am in a universe where my causal chain of action or my indetermicacy can sufficiently affect my situation consciously and to what extent, and the uncertainty of that.

Worry if merely the result of the uncertainty of whether I am doing the right thing. I mean to always assume I cannot affect my situation would be wrong, I would miss oppurtunites. And to assume the opposite would be very frustrating. The challenge of finding the right balance results in uncertainty and feels like worry since we care about the outcomes and about life.
