The only thing in life that stresses me is what is coming up. Like, wife, kids, things like that. The day to day, in my honest opinion, isn't stressful at all.

Permanent People:
Over the next 20 to 50 years, it will become harder to tell the difference between the human and the machine. All body parts will be replaceable. A computer will function like the human brain with the ability to recognize feelings and respond in a feeling way. They will then produce fake people.
We will then be able to create a machine duplicate of ourselves so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. Like Kid `Space
. Maybe a few decades later, a way will be found to transfer our spirit (including our memories and thoughts) to the new body. Then we can choose to live for as long as we want. http://www.alittlehistory.com/future.htm

Fighting Life's "What Ifs"
Why we worry, fuss, and fret far more than we need to.
By: Edward H. Hallowell
Page 1 of 11
One in four of us will suffer from an anxiety disorder in our lifetime. And the rest of us will worry, fuss, and fret far more than we need to. Now, in this excerpt from his book, Worry, the psychiatrist who helped put attention deficit disorder on the map offers his treatment program for brooders.
"Worry gives a small thing a big shadow."—Swedish Proverb. 4-Sure
Worry is like blood pressure: you need a certain level to live, but too much can kill you. At its worst, worry is insidious, invisible, a relentless scavenger, roaming the corners of your mind, feeding on anything it finds. It sets upon you unwanted and unbidden, feasting on the infinite array of negative possibilities in life, diminishing your enjoyment of friends, family, achievements, and physical being—all because you live in fear of what might go wrong. People who worry too much suffer. For all their hard work, for all their humor and willingness to laugh at themselves, for all their self-awareness, worriers just cannot achieve peace of mind.
Worry is amazingly common. At least one in four of us—about 65 million Americans—will meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder at some point in our lifetime. Even those individuals whose lives are going well may worry excessively on occasion.
And yet, worry is a very treatable condition. Most people today are not aware of all that we have learned about worry in the last 50 years. Just as rainstorms may strike in different ways—sudden thunderstorms, lingering drizzle, occasional showers—so does worry attack its victims variously. We've come to understand the many distinctly different types of worry, and the underlying triggers. Worry may accompany simple shyness, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, or even post-traumatic stress disorder. Each kind of worry responds to specific and powerful techniques, from cognitive therapy to medication to regular exercise.
What Is Worry? Worry is a special form of fear. It is what humans do with simple fear once it reaches the part of their brain called the cerebral cortex. We make fear complex, adding anticipation, memory, imagination, and emotion.
Worry takes many forms, but it almost always stems from an overwhelming sense of vulnerability and powerlessness. Many of us locate the source of worry outside ourselves, believing it is triggered purely by life experiences: "What is going on in the world to make me feel this way?" Such thoughts only increase our feeling of vulnerability. And, as anyone who has worried knows all too well, even when the world is right, worry surfaces. Rational reassurances get no farther into the psyche of the worrier than words spoken in Martian. "Honey, everything will be fine. We are not about to go broke." "There really is no reason to obsess about your boss. He just told you that you were doing a great job!" "Truly, that mole on your back is not malignant melanoma!" The worrier may be momentarily calmed, but the fire soon flares again.
Why does the worrier go on worrying? His mind has, in effect, gone into a spasm, a grip that can't relax and accept good news. He is suffering a kind of "brain burn," because his system is continually pumping out a huge bolus of adrenaline under high pressure.

We're all guilty of worrying about the "What If's" in life. But they can seldom be changed. So I try not to worry about them.
A guy I was friends with for many years, his ex-wife was like this. And she had a lot of mental problems.
You can not change what you have little control over.

That's what freaks me out. I'm content and happy about what has happened in my life so far and what is going on right now, besides, of course, the loss of family and friends over the years.
Quoted for the truth!

You can't control the bad things people say about you. You can, however, control whether or not they're true! Actions speak louder than words. So make your actions speak louder than their words.
If I go around telling everyone that you were a drunk and a womanizer, when in reality you lead a fairly sober life and were a decent and honest family man; Then I'll have a pretty hard time getting people to listen to me.
