They might be getting mad because Jesus is not saying the same thing I am.
He is saying do not worry about tomorrow because you can worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.
He is saying material reality is not the most important thing, your relationship with God is.
I am saying do not worry about things where the worry itself prevents you from actually acting to make tomorrow better... or where there genuienly is nothing useful you can do, when you have no realistic choice.
...and I would want you to fundamentally base your appraisal of your own situation in the material and practical reality, and in you trying to be as honest with yourself, about yourself, as you can be.
Haha suppose you're right. I appreciate the perspective. :) I think I missed the point at first. I've been really sleep deprived lately.
It really blows, how especially from the Internet, we have so much information we can't do anything about. It feels like we're failing if we're not out there literally saving the world every day because we're always shown a constant feed of where and how it's burning.
...But then yeah, realistically, we can't. I'm always trying to figure out "solutions" to these big problems but that usually just results in my brain flooring the pedal in neutral until it burns out and feels helpless and anxious again.
So yeah, I totally agree with your approach. It's almost a skill in itself learning to discern what we can change with enough effort, and what is simply beyond our control.
