In my self examination moment (there were many), I’ve asked myself why I behave the way I do towards my wife, kid, other family members, and friends. I came to realize that I like to be in control. I like to know where my life is heading. I like to know who I’m dealing with, so I can take appropriate precautions.
I like things to be predictable.
Some folks may attribute manhood as the need to be in control. I don’t deny that opinion, but in the 21st century, where women have already asserted themselves in society, the generalization is easily disproved.
As a spiritual person, I do believe there are things I have zero control over, such as death, fate, and the weather. However, what I can control is how I react. I must have a high “adversity quotient“. I must be able to handle the suffering and pain.
I must suffer well.
Life is unfair and I’m not always in control. The sooner I realize that, the better I’ll become.

Jot It Down
I totally agree with your wisdom Rudyamid. Life will unfold the way it has to and we should have the courage to take it as it is. We should change our perception of life. 🙂
