Q: How's the air quality in your city? How do you deal with it?
8 years 2 weeks ago in Health & Safety - China
I found out LTA, that worrying doesn't solve or take away the problem
....in other words 'everybody dies....'
Here's the we-blink for all 'don't worry fans':
seansarto:
Always hated the british salutations/reassurances/accumen I saw blindly and pompously being reiterated in china..."Keep Calm" and "No worries"..BOTH expressions have nothing to do with problem solving they only express the individual's predisposition to pretend there isn't one or they can utilize pretension or contrivance (not ability) to resolve one.

See 'Bridge of Spies', 2015, exchange between US defence lawyer (Hanks) and accused Soviet spy (Rylance), who was facing death penalty at the time he was caught in Manhattan. Lawyer was explaining the grave legal position accused spy was in and .....
Lawyer: 'Do you ever worry?'
Spy: 'Would it help?' 
icnif77:
Opinion, that worrying is waste of thoughts is based on my mom's
. LTA.
mom: 'ohh, I worry ....!'
Why?
mom: 'because you must cross the road 7 times....'
OK, will I be any safer now, because you worry?
mom: '... you are not my son....= mixed-up in a nursery...'
Movie quote is just kind a confirmation of that.
seansarto:
Better to say, "no problem"...That way there's nothing to worry about....but in terms of this post, there is most definitely a problem to worry about.
