Redeciding

I was going to post something positive, something happy, something snappy, something smart, but then I accidently turned the volume up on my headphones too fast, startling me just a bit too much, but fear not, I will not post about life, I will not post about death. Not about gaining or losing, I will simply post something that I think of.

My world is fairly small, in a physical way. I prefer to keep it like that. There's enough going on up here, as it is, she said pointing to her own forehead. But when you really think about it, everyone's world is pretty small. Yes, I know I shouldn't use generalizations, but surely, you remember high school and the idea of that it was a controlable universe. Nothing is controlable. It's hardly even a matter of control, it's a matter of illusion and tricks.

When your hair is laying the way you want it, are you controling or managing it? If you were truly in control it'd go back into that shape next time you wash it and let it airdry. Did your pet sit down before being served dinner? It did because it does the same thing to you, it knows that sitting down at the appropiate time will make you put the food down. Who's the controlled one?

As long as there's no physical violence or force involved we can't actually control anything at all. It's a matter of who wants it more, and even then the one being controlled can remain being in control when it doesn't want to make hard decisions, ever been told "I don't know, you decide"?

When it comes to minds there is no real control. There's no way of telling how others, or yourself for that matter, will react to a given situation or scenario. So what's better is to just manage. Noone will do as I say unless I make it the more favourable option. Being able to offer something in return.
