Mid Life Crisis

I just heard a 53 years old man who is thinking of retiring from his senior level job and selling speakers and other audio products. In the newspaper, a 42 years old who is a high flyer(he is a VP in a multinational) with a homemaker wife and 3 kids worrys about losing his job and thinks he should start his own business.

Is it natural to worry? Why do we worry so much? Is this a subliminal thoughts of everyone? Is it mass media celebrating the richs and the successfuls cause us to feel left behind? How about alternate lifestyles? How can we attain peace and happiness? Are our thinking and values swayed by the information we are exposed? We are hurtling into the future and into the unknown. Is it the fear of unknown? Do we need to think so far? How about the happy-go-lucky type? No worries, let tomorrow worry itself.

NOW, live for the present moment is the Way to achieve enlightenment.
