“Control is a fallacy. I can only control my own actions, not other people’s actions, not to mention random events meted out by the Universe! I might not be able to control external forces, but I think I can do a better job of not letting them affect me so deeply... I have some control over the things I choose to see and read and how I interpret and react to them. I don’t think that’s being naive. Or maybe it is? But being crippled by anxiety is no more useful to myself or society.”
