control freak

Yes, I must confess, I love being in control.  Today I came up with a new definition.  Control is trying to manipulate reality. I know what the world is, what reality is, and I still try to manipulate it to insure that things go my way. So, one might also understand control as the eighth deadly sin.

Aren't we all? And that sense of control gives us the illusion that we actually have it, when in reality, there is very little within our control. Essentially, we have control over how we love and how we live. The rest is out of our hands....

Hey, you said that to me like you had read it somewhere...you're now coming up with the def. in real-time off the top of your head? NICE!!!

Here's a quote relating:
"Power resides where men BELIEVE it resides; no more, no less". George R.R. Martin (emphasis his).
