So what does "BIG worries" mean in Swahili?

Worries like nukes and disease and annexation and climate change and the world being run by humans who are less intelligent than warthogs and meerkats?

Remember how Scar had the delusion that he was a great ruler even though Pride Rock had become a desolate wasteland from overhunting and the lions were all doomed to die of starvation and dehydration because of him? That's what the leaders are like now. Except there are no heroic lions to save the day.

I think Hakuna Matata is a nice ideal, but more realistic and down to Earth would be the Dude from "The Big Lebowski", when he says "The Dude abides".
