Rather than try and write to all of you collectively, I’ve chosen to make a few comments to each of you specifically. Margaret, I agree that worry is not our fault, and it makes no sense to judge ourselves or others for worrying. What’s important is that we can choose whether or not we will allow worry to run our lives. Melanie, I completely agree that the state of the world is more important to worry about than the volume of one’s hair ;-). Her words about worry shaped my essay, which in turn, shaped yours.
