What do we control?

Control?

What exactly do you (we) control? Not much in all reality! Most is wishful thinking on our part...

What ever got into our feeble minds that made us (you) think that we could or would control much of anything in this earthly life?

Well lets look at what little we know about this phenomena...

While the world and our human mind try to tell us that we can do anything and control so much of nature and others; it is one of the biggest lies ever brought before us...

All of our God given intelligence plus the freedom of decision; does allow us to consider many things in our life! Some things we can control to a limited extent, while most others are left to chance or at least to our best efforts...

What has happened over the course of history, is that we (you) get to thinking how great we are and become head strong in an attempt to control things in our (your) life! It is the old adage that we get to feeling we (you) are ten feet tall and bullet proof! False assumption!

While mankind has progressed over time due mostly in part to standing as it were on the shoulders of giants {past generations} who have all ready been there and done it... HUH! So we get to feeling how smart we are yet if we had to discover fire every time, we would still be living in a cave some where...

Therefore most of our knowledge is based upon the work or experience of past generations who left us all this cumulative information...

While science, which is the method of study of various disciplines here on earth; it can and has brought many answers; but does not actually change the delaminates of nature...

i.e.: While we have come to understand much about Hurricanes, Volcanoes, Tsunamis and so many other things of nature. we still lack the power to control any of them...

This is much the same with most of the idea many have as to the control of either people or for that fact animals to much more than a very limited extent! Our success rate is dismal as governments and other groups attempt to control humans to any real extent...

With all the knowledge and religious beliefs available there should not be much if any killing, stealing, rape, robbery, shop lifting or abortions... But the real shame of it all is that people do not appear to learn from their mistakes in life! So the real question is what do we have to do to understand how to live in our limited capacity of life!

There are a few things we can control to some extent; the rest are just a cooperative event... Learning when and where to apply our limited knowledge is our strong suit and the best use of our activity!

The truth is we can change very Little, and need to learn how to leave well enough alone, most of the time... There will be moments where you will know when or how to act in certain situations; save all your passions for those special moments... It is not every time you see a nice looking person of the opposite sex or when you heard about a most wonderful deal of a life time... No, it will generally be when you least expect it, perhaps at some low point in your life, and then the opportunity will present itself, most often prayer will precede it!
