LOL, I suppose we could worry a lot as we SLAM on the GAS and get the heck outta town because I ain't going to jail for NOBODY!

(JUST KIDDING PEOPLE)

Worry is something we learn, not something we're born doing. So, we have to imitate it from somewhere, and we learn it so young its one of those stylized facts that isn't a fact at all, and actually a hinderance.

But, I'm not quite sure that how we're interpreting "worry" is what the poster is specifically referring to here.
