Control Issues

"People don't control themselves, their own lives, and yet they want to control the world. As a matter of fact, there is a law involved in that. The less control an individual has over his own internal state, the more he will be compelled, forced, whipped along to try to control other people. Because this means that in this state of weakness, of immaturity, he's going to try to get rid of the pain of the fact by trying to prove that he does have power. And what he does is hurt, what he does is destroy, all unconscious, not seeing that his own lack of internal command of himself, of his life - spiritual command - not seeing that his own lack of that is what spurs him on and this is the cause of all the destruction in the world." ~ Howard Vernon
