I always find it interesting that people like to try and control things that outside their powers. I'll admit it, I am guilty of this as well. I try to get my students to think and not accept what I tell them at face value (ya know, to challenge ideas that are presented to them). I try to make light bend as I capture it. I try to get my family to accept that I'm not the same person that they think I was as a kid. I try to keep my cat from helping me type.
Why do we try and tame the forces that are outside our control? I think, in my case, it's because I have this urge to fix stuff, even when it either can't be fixed or isn't broken. I consider it a charming fault of mine. Heh.
I worry about people, and I worry what my friends think of me. Why? I have no idea. But, overall, I'm happy with who I am. I just have to remember, sometimes it makes no sense to try and change the things I can't control.
Peace.
