A young man I know was afflicted with a near fatal illness. The world turned upside down for his dear and near ones. Every one is praying. Its been about a year. I'm grateful to note he is recovering. This too is a miracle. Going by our culture one of the default points of intense worry for parents as they contemplated his future was "how will he get married". And this is no tiny worry for them. It seems - thinking from the parents point of view - a perfectly reasonable cause of worry. And how much pain it causes. And yet at the same time I, standing here, can only laugh at this worry. I see it as an almost foolish thing to worry about. I'm sure there are several people who understand.
As I deal with the myriad thoughts that cause fear, learning from the wise I think about how just because the mind may believe there is a cause of concern, this doesn't have to be true. In fact in most cases the wise would laugh at the cause that we are justified as reasons of concern.
