How much worry is to much worry?

Well, I sort of understand your concern, as I have a younger sister who is 5 years younger than I, and I was responsible when she was staying with me. My sister told me once that she felt sad that we do not trust her, though she thinks she is mature enough. Also, when we were worrying about her, she felt sad too. This triggered me to think, perhaps I worried too much about her. I actually think the same as her, as I do not wish my parents worry about me, and I think I am mature enough to live on my own, and also I think I am doing good too. So, why should I do the same to my sister, and make her not happy? It's her own life, and she should be old enough to be responsible to her own life. Of course, sometimes when you see her doing something wrong, perhaps you can just give some advices, but if she still insists she's doing that right, then you can't step any further. Now, I always try not to worry, and leave it to her to do her own decision, carry on with her own life, I should not interfere into her life too much.

One should worry to the extent when he can do something about it. If we can't do anything, just leave it, though it can cause disaster. But be careful to judge can you realyy do something? You get into options and your problem gets simpler. In this case you need to worry as you can do something in it. e.g. change your own lifestyle to more spiritual & then only make her aware of the drawbacks of wishful lifestyle. It is dangerous depending on what thinking pattern she has. Generally wishful lifestyle has two patterns- 1. To taste the newer things watching ohers doing them. 2. We have control over the things we are doing & I am confident that it will not result in disaster. I think enough clues.
