What does the word worry mean?
Interestingly, the word in ancient English means to choke or to strangle. So, when you worry, the meaning of the English word is that somebody has you by your spiritual throat and is choking the life out of you. I think that is about it, isn’t it?
Whenever you worry you feel a sense of helplessness. It is when my mind is paralyzed, and I become incapable of rational thought. It goes around and around and around. Like the merry go round. It keeps going, but it doesn’t go anywhere. Around and around and around. You get a thought in your head, and it gets you. It keeps going around and around.
Even though you are incapable of doing anything about it, You have the same thought going on, over and over because you have no conclusion to it. You have been cut off. You have been choked. Something has you by your mind and choking you, so you can’t think creatively.
Choked. Strangled.
