In a moment of contemplative nostalgia, I recall watching a comedy TV series titled ‘It don’t matter’ in which, with realistic hilarity, the host portrait the world as it is in all its clarity.
Much of our worries are about things that don’t matter.
The weather for example, ‘will be what will be’, whether we worry about it or not. All we can do, is to be prepared for and adapt to its changes.
Celebrity scandals don’t matter, neither does all the influencer’s ridicule and perversion. Alarmist news and predictions in traditional and social media are designed to attract attention, the rest is vanity, again, ‘it doesn’t matter’.
A derelict dictator’s threats don’t matter, for they are only a desperate, clumsy attempt on a teenage monkey dance, performed by losers who lack the means to put words into action. What Donald Trump says doesn’t matter.
Much of what other people think or say about you doesn’t matter. Anxiety is the habit of worrying; mostly about things that don’t matter.
