lockjaw. Looking at one’s savings too often can encourage dementia in almost anybody.

他同時追蹤焦慮的上升情況。過於頻繁地查看一個人的儲蓄，幾乎會導致任何人患上癡呆症。

He concurrently tracks the rise in anxiety. Looking at one’s savings too often can encourage dementia in almost anybody.

 “I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers flow in the right direction, will the earth turn as it was taught, and if not, how shall I correct it?

Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven, can I do better?

Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows can do it and I am, well, hopeless.

Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it, am I going to get rheumatism, lockjaw, dementia?

Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing.

And gave it up. And took my old body and went out into the morning, and sang.”

~Mary Oliver, “I Worried,”
