In the sense that you like to control most outcomes? I am.
But we need to accept the randomness of life. One day you wake up and you realize your brain doesn´t work like it used to do. Or you have a car accident. Or someone attacks you on the street…
And, we cannot flagellate ourselves because the mistakes we make. Neither we can beat ourselves because the randomness of life…
For me i think it comes down to Asperger’s syndrome
I am not a control freak but I accept that there are many things out of my control so worrying about such things is a stain upon the spirit.
We can control our own thoughts and actions but not other people’s or natures doings.
No need to be overly concerned about things that are not in your control.

I’m a control freak who doesn’t have any control over anything.
[ pauses while putting shock collar on @ThePickinSkunk ]
Whut? Me? Heck no.
Waits till @shutterbug forgets to charge the collar battery and steals all from his ankle cellar
AND I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT TOO IF IT WEREN’T FOR YOU MEDDLING SKUNKS!
Hmmmmmmph.
I used to be incredibly controlling. I’ve mellowed as I’ve aged.
You never yell at me. Why are you yelling at me?
I’m gonna kwy!
Because I dropped the shock collar on my foot!
Then I fell over and landed on it while dancing around on the other foot.
Got shocked again.
On the booty.
Gonna take a week to unclench.
YOUR fault!
Shucks! Take a dose of ex-lax smooth move!
There is an old adage:
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
I fall on the other side, often not interfering where I could make a change to the positive.
I have worked alot on being less controlling.
I wasn’t being controlling because I thought of myself as better or because I love power.
I am just an anxious person, and lack of control makes me more anxious.
No but people think I am for some reason. Maybe I used to be.
I can’t get away from people who are insanely controlling. I’ve never felt the need to control other people. Except I would like a lot of them to be in prison where they belong.
Either that or a bit selfish lol. Itll be like "yeah sure ill watch a movie with you, but ill only watch the one i want to watch"
Gee you think people can control their thoughts and actions? I don’t seem to be able to do that.
