On Ghost Seeker-Stress By Proxy
“Seeker-stress”
is the anxiety one experiences when looking for a lost item. Yet even when the
item is found, there will be residual stress; I call this “ghost
seeker-stress”.
Well
this morning my sister called to say that her makeup kit had been lost, could I
look in my car? I looked and found nothing. Yes, I felt some seeker-stress.
Later she found it, and word of this got to me. What a relief! Yet when I next
walked to my car, I had a moment of worry before I remembered that the kit had
been found. So not only was I experiencing seeker-stress; it wasn’t even on my
own behalf! I was experiencing ghost seeker-stress by proxy!
