Quit Your Worrying!

CHAPTER XIII
17/18

And if I would not thus fetter my children and friends, I dare not seek to fetter others.

My business is to live my own religion to the utmost.
If I must worry, I will worry about that, though, as I think my readers are well aware by now, I do not believe in any kind of worry on any subject whatever.
Hence, let me again affirm in concluding this chapter, I regard worry about the religion of others as unwarrantable on account of our own ignorances as to their peculiar needs, as well as of God's methods of supplying those needs.

It is also a useless expenditure of strength, energy, and affection, for, if God leads, your worry cannot possibly affect the one so led.

It is also generally an irritant to the one worried over.

Even though he may not formulate it into words he feels that it is an interference with his own inner life, a nagging that he resents, and, therefore, it does him far more harm than good; and, finally, it is an altogether indefensible attempt to saddle upon another soul your own faith or belief, which may be altogether unsuitable or inadequate to the needs of that soul.
There is still one other form of worry connected with the subject of religion.
