Summary

This quote suggests that worry is a repetitive and unconstructive pattern of thoughts that arise from a deep-seated fear. It implies that worrying about a particular situation or problem only serves to reinforce anxiety and does not lead to productive solutions. Rather than finding effective ways to address fears or concerns, worry spins in futile circles, amplifying the negative emotions associated with fear. Thus, the quote encourages individuals to break free from this cycle of worries and instead focus on actively confronting their fears in a more constructive manner.
