Control

[arib]

It's all about control, and how I don't have it over the things that matter.

Everything glides along, smooth as silk until the smallest, most innocuous thing pops up, and reminds me how much other people have control over me, whether I like it or not, and whether they're entitled to or not.

It is my life, right?

My college advisor used to say "Life is 10% action and 90% reaction". I finally decided that there's about 10% of my life I can control. The rest of the time my life is reacting to what goes on around me. Hence I tend to be proactive about 'reacting' - I feel more in control that way.

But sad isn't it, how much of our lives are run by other people/groups/etc.
