Control may help us feel safe in an unpredictable, unsafe, wild world. Wanting control may be a response to shielding ourselves from feeling fear and being aware of our vulnerability.

The more we control the more we are disconnected from empathy and care. With aliveness come joy, peace, love, awe.
