If you were to choose between worrying and not worrying, what would you pick? Now that you have the answer, think again. What do you actually pick everytime, for real. Yup. That's right. The act of worrying is usually in the top. Although most people hate to admit it, their minds wander in the darkest places once the worry has settled in.
"The act of worrying"
People have a tendency towards looking at the dark side. With or without the cookies, there is something drawing their attention towards it. Why? The focus on the things we can't control and are negative gives us a sense of control. A paradox. Maybe if I constantly worry about it I will figure it out. Maybe if I stare at the world's worst news, I will protect myself better. Maybe if I look at the dark, I can better stay in my light. It makes no sense, but it doesn't have to, in order for people to follow through this disruptive pattern.
The good which comes from worrying does not exist. A cycle of worrying stimulates more of the same behaviour. The necessary thing is to stop. You think negative.. Ok.... Stop. Thoughts are mere ghosts. They have no power to materialise unless we put them to action.
Worrying about dying, poverty, loss of fortune, loss of love, loss of control.... These things can be prevented through controled thinking in the opposite side:appreciation for what you have and belief in the good things you want to achieve. If your mind is put to to pick between imaginary lemon or lemonade, do yourself a favor and make it pick the latter. Either way, it will do you no harm to visualise positive things instead of negative.

I was inspired to take these black and white photos when I have read about another contest of @kus-knee. I like when I feel the wind of inspiration coming my way and I salute any initiative that makes people think and be creative.
