Worry - The silent killer.

It may surprise many people that a thing like worry can be a killer. It has been
proved by all medical researches that worry is a major cause of heart ailments, raised
blood pressure, rheumatism, ulcers, skin–problems, asthma and many other diseases.
Worry is a slow poison. Now the trend to “cure the mind before curing the body” is
gaining momentum all over the world. Hence the modern maxim: “a healthy body
depends upon a healthy mind”.


There are several causes of worry. The fast paced and complicated life style
contributes largely to our anxieties. Shortages, fears, competitions, dissatisfaction,
disillusionments, fears, failures - everything adds to the burden on our minds. Some
of these factors may be uncontrollable, but others are within our control.
Right from the time a child is three years old and is pushed into a nursery, a rat–
race begins which lasts throughout one’s life. Expectations of parents and
competition with peer groups to achieve better results chase the child. This leads to
headaches which abound in children. Irritability, tension, fear of failure, ridicule, self
hatred are some of the hitherto experienced emotions that besiege the younger children
of today. There is a steady erosion of the carefree, untiring and happy state of childhood.
If this trend continues, the day is not far when more children will suffer from ailments
like high blood pressure, depression and stomach ulcers.

Two major causes of worry that can be easily controlled by of most us are tomorrow
and yesterday. So much involvement had gone into worrying about
yesterday and tomorrow that the feeling of today has almost vanished. The fear of
tomorrow looms large over people. They fret about their savings, securities and their
future, forgetting the importance of today. Of what use is tomorrow if we do not live to
see it? Only a relaxed and cool mind functions normally and to its capacity.
