Worrisome accidents happen.

I have a friend with a 'worry' button/switch on the right side of her head. When the button is pushed down, it's off. When it's up, it's on. She has to be extra careful. For instance, when she brushes her hair. She may move the brush in an upward direction. It could easily touch the switch. And bingo. She starts to worry. Needlessly. Turns out that she was born with 'worry' genes. Don't know if they came from her mother or father. Maybe both. And that would be reason enough for god to install the 'on' and 'off' switch. But it's up to her to operate the switch. Anyway, it's a sign of a merciful god. God could just as easily given her no switch. No option. And she'd have to worry all the time. If I were her, I'd buy some strong adhesive tape and tape the switch in the 'off' position so that it doesn't get turned on accidentally. She has a tendency to be careless. And so, worrisome accidents happen. --Jim Broede
