Does it bother you that you are not in control of your own existence?

Question: Does it bother you that you are not in control of your own existence!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

On the one hand it is liberating, since it removes ones responsibility for how the choices one makes actually pan out!. This can save a lot of unnecessary guilt!.

On the other hand, having reliquished control to fate, or god, one assumes that she actually cares!. If god is just some mundane potentiality from which all permutations of consciousness arise then our lives might seem a little precarious, being subject to a possible random dramatic twist of fate at any moment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You just made my day! At least there is one other person on this planet who is aware that they are not in control! *jumps for joy*

In some ways it does bother me, deeply, especially when I live in a society which is deluded by the idealistic concepts of self-control and free-will and then I am scrutinized because I can't consciously control the chemical imbalances that occur in my head and go a little nuts because of it from time to time!. If I had true free-will or total self-control, I would never have a mental breakdown, nor would anyone else I'd wager -- because losing yourself like that is a terrible thing to experience!

But until we have full conscious control of every chemical, atom, element, and cell working in our bodies, that simply is how life is and I must deal with the ignorance of those who shun my so-called "lack of self control" or "lack of mental control" for the rest of my life!. It sucks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

How do you know that I am not in control of my own existence or that you are not in control of your own existence!? We can only be bothered by what we let bother us!. If I continuously thought, "I have no control over my life!." or "Tomorrow, I may no longer exist!." I could easily, as could anyone become deeply bothered by this!. Live for today, for the moment, for every moment of a day, an hour, a minuet a second whatever quantifier you want--Www@QuestionHome@Com

We are born into a society that is controlling, it begins in elementary school telling you what to think, do and how you should behave, from there you're expected to continue education to work, produce and pay taxes!.

The existence passed on from our forefathers is a poor mans game being lured to support others with the belief in a dream of success!. RIGHT!?!?

YES, you are correct and it bothers me a lot that we are not in control of our own existence!. We should be allowed to be as free as the plants and animals that roam earth taking care of themselves generation after generation!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

The idea that someone owns the land, the water, the food was initiated in GREED and remains GREED and all who believe that they are entitled will learn at their death that nothing belonged to them at all except "life"!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.in the hereafter on judgment day in front of our Holy Father all who were GREEDY will answer for their demeanor and learn their only privileges were to be good human beings or not!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

For the non-believers I recommend practicing being a good human being at least, he will be forgiving of you!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
