" think the reason why most people like to “have control” (either over others or situations) is because they’re afraid of getting hurt. But as soon as we realise that that is indeed impossible and that we can get equally hurt (if not more) by accidents to our loved ones or things happening in our lives that no one could have foreseen, we then realize that kind of desire for control is futile and will only end up with more pain, destruction and misery. Acceptance is the key. We don’t need to accept everything in life, but we should accept that control is an illusion."
