People love being worried. Any reason is good for it.
As longevity and pampering of the self augments, so do fears of loss.
As the care for children becomes more expensive, we are forced to have fewer so they become more precious to the genitor in us.
With less chores to do because of technological help, we get more time to worry.
It's an ecology of worries. No escape.
My children are raised and have left. I worry just as much for them.
