Chris777 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 How do some of you look upon not being in control of your life, or given situations of it? Be it your place (status) or situation, or health? Do you, or can you relenquish the notion, that you are either not in control, or (possibly a firestarter) do you allow yourself to submit to the authority of others, or even God? Or do you cling to, and fight for control in whatever way you can assert, or manefest it? Link to post Share on other sites
laRubiaBonita Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 i think you are looking at it wrong. You never submit to the powers-that-be, you use the powers-that-be as a guide to assist you in choosing the better path. you may not be able to keep cancer from attacking you, but you certainly are in the power to do all that YOU can to prevent it. we may not have all the answers or know all the ins and outs of each situation and life event, but people, generally, have enough knowledge to get through it.....and if help is needed all you need do is ask for it.

It is mostly assumed that we be independent, and self sufficent. and much of the modern notions of "you can do anything" . I had done much of what i had wanted most of my life defying those trying to assist me, in light of my own prideful notion that I don't need anyones help to do anything. but also the leadership issue. I see alot of bickering between people (couples in particular) over who is right and who is wrong, and in what direction they will go on life/family issues. when it could be eased or eliminated if they knew their place and preformed their roles, rather than wanting to do something else.

What are you looking for? freaking Miracle or Omen? Divine intervention? No, god, or what ever, teaches, basically "Do unto others as you would have them do to you". Enough said. You, and everyone else, need to take Responsibilty for their own actions, and Not try to pass the blame off on others. Link to post Share on other sites
