   Is there nothing else in this world that you worry about?  You appear to be   
   allowing this one thing to dominate your life, the way you portray it here.   
      
   You can't control what they do, only how you react to it.  Even if only by   
   choosing not to make it the center of your attention, instead making room   
   for other things in life.
