"Worrying" It's a function of the predictive mind that energizes the choice of possibilities. If it weren't, you wouldn't care whether you stored food for winter or not, and your whole family would starve.

You can definitely care without worrying. I wouldn't even say they are the same thing. You can pick an item from a restaurant menu, I don't think that is worrying.

Evolutionarily, worrying about the future has been rewarded because it was more effective than not doing so.

That is not true. It is a misunderstanding. There is no benefit to believing you will experience the future because no one experiences it. The benefit is still part of the belief.

In fact, there are even tribes which do not include the concept of the future in their language.

There is no other way to have a reality without this distinction. .  

 

I agree.  But this is anathema to a lot of spiritual people it seems.
