When
the greed gives way to self satisfaction, and the feeling to acquire more and
more gets away with, how do we feel?
Certainly,
some people may not be happy with this idea of “not having control over many
aspects of their life”. But, In a nutshell, It means, “the relief from worrying
about things over which we do not have control”, because at the end, we can
always be self satisfied thinking for better results, the freedom to form an
association, and for worse results, the freedom to reject an association! But,
what makes things “under control” and “not under control”?
(List I): Some examples of things which are not under control of an ordinary human being at some
point of time in their life:
Birth (immigration), Choice of parents, siblings and other
relatives, Going back in time, Going ahead in time, Manipulating things done in
the past, Result of acts done in past, Acts of other human beings, Certain
emigration.
(List
II): Some examples of things which are under
control of an ordinary human
being at some point of time in their life:
Mind
and Body control, Acts of self done in Present, Choice of friends, Choice of
spouse through love-marriage, Choice to have children or not to have, Planning
(or waiting) for future tense, Forced emigration, etc.
It’s
not possible to manipulate acts in List I. Further, certain acts in List I even
though unchangeable, give us our identity. I think, we must feel proud of the
same. For acts in List II, It’s possible under normal terms and conditions to obtain better results.
It’s very important to construct positives over things which are
under our control, for it tends to bring more and more positives over
negatives, and since the things which are not under our control have the equal
probability of bringing a favourable or unfavourable result, It’s only acts
under our control which may help us to achieve the best out of opportunity
available to us!
