Living without free will

that is interesting. Along those same lines I was talking to someone last night and he maintains that he is complete care-less when it comes to worrying about something because he cant control it.
I wish I could come to this conclusion or something similar because now i tend to worry alot more even about things I can not contol.
As i have stated in my other post, I believe people are brainwashed so to speak as they grow up under their specific religion. I wonder if it is possible to brainwash urself to not worry?

If you know you can't influence an event, it is absurd to worry about it. Keep repeating that to yourself over and over. I suppose it could be called self-indoctrination if you like, but you will be exercising your will upon yourself. Unless you like to worry.
