ABSTRACT
AN outstanding feature of a distraught mind is the dominion of fear and apprehension over the moral self. We call it worry. If there were no personal wishes, the fulfillment of which were regarded as important, there could be no worry. Worry simply is fear that we shall fail to get what we want—fear which turns to pleasure when our desire is fulfilled, or to disappointment, sorrow, or shock, when its fulfillment is denied. It is the suspension between the " I want" and " I may not get" that constitutes worry. Obviously if one could give up the wish, or become indifferent to the outcome worry would vanish.
