Control freak?

It sounds miserable to me…MOST everything in the world is beyond our complete control…other people, the weather, our pets…very little is in our total control…

Yes. When your satisfaction is gained by controlling situations then opposite is also true. You will constantly be dissatisfied when situations are out of your control. Like my mother always told me the only thing you can control is nothing. Life is full of suprises and disappointments. The only thing you can count on is that you will never be able to control everything. Trying to do so can possibly lead to failed relationships career opportunities and spiritual advances. Its good to want things to be under control but when you lose control of having control just stay cool sit back and see where life takes you.

person who attempts to dictate how everything around them is done…sorry but that doesn’t sound to good to me

believing that others are incapable of handling matters properly…it is not good to look down on people.

One thing I learned it to not try to control everything around me…I have done it before to it just leads to disappointment when things don’t go the way you wanted…just let things go…this is the poem that taught me such great wisedom.

29. Ambition Those who wish to change the world According with their desire Cannot succeed.

The world is shaped by the Way; It cannot be shaped by the self. Trying to change it, you damage it; Trying to possess it, you lose it.

So some will lead, while others follow. Some will be warm, others cold Some will be strong, others weak. Some will get where they are going While others fall by the side of the road.

So the sage will be neither wasteful nor violent.
