Don't you just like feeling like you're in control of your affairs? To hold your own fate in your own hands, to be the lord of your manor, the captain of your ship and the master of your own fate.
Haaa! The allure
So we make plans, to provide us a guide towards achieving tasks, we carefully and clearly consider the risks, measure the pros and cons of every decision we are going to make and choose the ones that make good sense to us
Oh my! The Bliss
As long as things go according to plan, we feel invincible. Man unlike any other creature we currently know of has the distinct ability to create out of nothing! To paint master pieces on empty canvasses, to dream up cities from thick forests, to draw up master plans and designed for never before imagined engines, to bring out whatever thoughts we have in our head to life. It might just take a while, but some man would figure it out
If a man dreams it; a man will build it
We rule the universe we know of! We control everything! The seas, the land, the skies, the heavens and the stars; we make everything bend to our will.. We are the masters of our own universe. Or so we would like to believe.
But control is an illusion! We only see what we want to see. It's like a man staring into the mirror. If he feels insecure about his looks, he would see an ugly ogre, but if he is arrogant about a non-existent beauty, he would see the most beautiful man in the world
Control is just like power
Power exists where the people think it does
If you believe that you're in control of a situation, you probably are; till you aren't!
Don't be fooled into thinking you control things because it could slip at any time. Today you're a successful stock trader, tomorrow the stock market crashes without any warning.
Most people never foresee doom. They never expect it. They think they're in control but they aren't
The only constants in life are change, and ........ CHAOS!
