     Human   lives  of  all  persons  on  our  planet  are
intricately interconnected  in  ways  which  transcend the
ability  of  any person to fully  comprehend,  understand,
predict, manipulate and/or control.

     No one of us can be fully in control of our own  life
and  destiny;    because  our  own  life  and  destiny  is
intricately  interconnected  with  all  other   lives  and
destinies  in  ways  which  we  cannot  fully  comprehend,
understand, predict,  manipulate and/or control.

     To  be fully in control of our own life  and  destiny
(or  to  appear  to be so)  we would need to be  fully  in
control of the lives  and  destinies  of all people on our
planet; clearly  an impossibility---unless we happen to be
God (or are pretending to be God).  The appearance of such
control  is possible  only to  participants  in  collusive
games   of   mutual   self   deception,    addiction   and
codependence;   and such people are clearly not in control
of  very much!   They control only their perceptions;  but
they control very few realities.

     Healthy people who are true to themselves and to each
other are not preoccupied with issues of  control:    who,
how,  where,  when, why, for what purpose,  etc.  They are
preoccupied with getting to know themselves and each other
as  they  really  are,  whole persons who  are  integrated
beings living  cooperatively in communities of  integrity;
rather   than  competing  for  conditional  acceptance  in
conformal communities full of rules,  regulations,   laws,
injunctions,  prohibitions,   and taboos against intimacy,
honesty and integrity.
                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
