I can understand trying to have a calming discourse whose message pretty much amounts to "c'est la vie".
But even if that is not your intention, it can come out as dismissive. Many people do worry about the future for very good reasons.
- qbasic_forever 3y agoHow does it help your situation to worry about something you cannot control or influence in any way whatsoever? Plan for the future, good or bad, but don't dwell on what you can't control.

- ambicapter 3y agoWorrying won't pay your rent either, is the point.
- the_only_law 3y agoNo, but it’ll certainly make me more likely to do things that might pay my rent. Certainly compared to a “la de da nothing is wrong xd it is what it is” attitude.
- ambicapter 3y agoYou're basically agreeing with the people you were arguing with. It's the "do things" part that worthwhile, not the "worry about it" part. > “la de da nothing is wrong xd it is what it is” attitude You misunderstood, no one above was taking that attitude.
- whateverman23 3y agoI think many people, especially the privileged in tech, haven't had to worry about money before. The possibility of losing it all and ending up homeless doesn't even cross their mind, either from ignorance or from significant personal/family wealth that provides a safety net. Easy not to worry when you can't fathom that it may happen to you or your peer.
