If there are big problems, and I'm not worried, then I'm oblivious.
If a man shouts that we have big problems, and I listen, and I think about it, but I just don't see what the big deal is, then either he's a demagogue or I'm still just oblivious.
Either way, I was oblivious or whatever else I was before he came on the scene.

But is it healthy to worry about things you cannot do anything about? The opposite of "obliviousness" is "awareness." Not "worried." I can be not worried and also not oblivious.

If you worry about things you cannot do anything about, that is not conducive to mental health. Look at some of the people on this message board, who are so worried about things they cannot do anything about that they are mentally unbalanced.

You can be aware of things and not worry about them.
