Order
Control is an illusion.
It’s strange that we have to let go of what we actually don’t hold on to. We presume to have control over the things that, in reality, we don’t. The addiction to control is humanity’s dirty habit. Most of the stress in our lives is caused by it. If only we knew how to let it go…
Anarchy and deconstruction is not the answer. The answer is order.
Instead of control, we ought to strive for order. There is a difference. Control is dictatorship and ownership. Order is management and stewardship. Order gives us direction and conformity. It gives us definition. We cannot control, but we can maintain order.
When we accept that all we really need to be concerned with is being good stewards of that which we’ve been given, our enjoyment of life will increase.
