Topic: Worry And Dissipation

Dissipation is an idle, wasteful, or harmful diversion. Dissipation is taking your own natural resources and wasting them away…all the while knowing what you are doing. In dissipation, instead of loving people, you are idle. Instead of encouraging people, you ignore them, Instead of showing you care, you show nothing. Dissipation and drunkenness have the same result. Drunkenness takes your natural resources and wastes them away. Instead of being attentive, when you are drunk, your mind is fuzzy and you ignore people. When you are drunk, instead of showing love you are consumed by the alcohol. If you love alcohol, you are consumed by the craving for it. Instead of encouraging people, your craving for alcohol causes you to ignore others. In your drunkenness and in your craving, instead of showing people love and compassion, you show nothing because your mind is dulled. Worry is like dissipation and drunkenness. Worry also takes your natural resources and wastes them away. Worry also does the same thing to you that alcohol, drugs, as do all other forms of addiction. When you worry, you are caught up in self and not attentive, loving, caring, kind, and compassionate toward those around you.
