When I say this, I don't mean in terms of losing control to your rage or intensity, but rather, to attempt to accept life.
Do you ever allow yourself to give in to life, to accept that you cannot control everything?
This is something that the Tao Te Ching attempts to teach, in addition to many of the self-help books out there today.
We drive ourselves crazy with unmet expectations, but why do we need them?
Why do we need to always expect something rather than to accept it?
The micromanagement insisted upon by our society seems to take away from every aspect of a healthy life, like you have to be superman just to raise your kids or to help someone else, why is it so difficult? Why are the demands so high of one simple human being?
I don't understand why the concept of slowing down, taking your time, and really thinking through a decision or simply spending quality time with your family or friends, or by yourself, is shunned upon. If we aren't helping the jauggernaut corporations increase their market shares then we are portrayed as not contributing to society, what has life become?
Sorry, there are a lot of questions here.
