I disagree. When our families are threatened by evil, it’s normal to be anxious.
You're right.
There's natural / normal anxiety... Like going into battle, test anxiety, jitters before a wedding or a martial arts competition, anxiety about a late payment, etc.
Then there is unnatural / abnormal anxiety - like phobias of non-dangerous things, having a panic attack because someone honked at you in traffic, or being anxious for no reason when everything is going well.
The first is just normal human reaction.
The second is a condition. You can debate all day about whether it's diet, mental, neurological, spiritual, whatever. The thing is it's not normal, and different things work for different people. Some use medication, others use prayer, still others use meditation. Many self-medicate. Now, there's nothing inherently wrong with self medicating. That is natural and normal. Just don't self-medicate to the point you harm your body, mind, or soul.
A drink to take the edge off? Sure. Guzzling gallons of whiskey a week to function? Bad idea. Prayer to ease your troubled mind? Great! Praying so much you neglect your family, job, and body? Probably bad.
Moderation. Always key.
The funny thing is I'm a bit of a germaphobe... but there was something not right about this whole covid non-sense from the start.
I wash my hands so much my skin dries out and my nails crack, but I know masks don't work and I don't trust a vaccine they won't let people ask questions about.
I think the best protection against covid is the same as for flu, common cold, and other infectious bugs:
Stay healthy, eat well, get decent sleep, wash hands, don't share utensils. And don't be dumb, don't kiss someone with snot running out of their nose all over their face, don't lick doorknobs or toilet seats, don't pick up rotting bird carcasses... You know... Basics.
And bathe!
Jesus was threatened and he wasn’t anxious. Try again
Son of God that knew his purpose was to die for our sins… and you’re comparing us to him? Get bent idiot.
His whole purpose was to show us how to live and return to the Heavenly Father.
Keep crying and being affected by the world then if that’s working for you lol
Sure thing tough guy.
