Could I speak to someone about
Control
It’s extraordinary the tactics people employ to obtain it,
Some rely on deception
While others engage in outright trickery.
Then there are those who resort to extortion.
Why do we fight so hard for control,
Because we know to lose it is to put our fate in the hands of others, and what could be more dangerous.
The desire for control is a natural human tendency that can manifest in many different ways, from individual relationships to larger societal structures.
It is an inarguable fact that we human beings want to have dominant control over the things around us, some government is manipulating its citizen so as to perpetuate its regime, some companies want to keep their staff on a tight leash to squeeze them dry, some wives want to hold the reins of their husband so that they have a major say in their household, and most parents want to wield significant influence on their children in the name of their well-being, whether we admit it or not, it’s the circle of life. I think there is no inherent difference between humans and animals in this regard, as a matter of fact, once we have everything under control, we’re able to put together the most essential qualities that everyone is now dreaming of, regardless of who and where they are.
Confidence, certainty, security and power.
