The article discusses the normalcy of anxiety concerning stability, finances, and political situations by referencing the Tao Te Ching and the work of Irvin Yalom. It argues that while individual stress is valid, widespread anxiety regarding economic instability and uncertainty is a common human experience. The texts emphasize understanding and accepting life's complexities as a means of coping with these feelings. Acceptance of uncertainty is highlighted as a crucial strategy in alleviating anxiety, allowing individuals to navigate turbulent times with a broader perspective.
