Whenever conflict arises among living creatures the sense of ownership is the cause.

May I become at all times, both now and forever: a protector for those without protection; a guide for those who have lost their way; a ship for those with oceans to cross; a bridge for those with rivers to cross; a sanctuary for those in danger; a lamp for those without light; a place of refuge for those who lack shelter; and a servant to all in need.

If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.
