I learned early in life how quickly it can be taken away so I never understood 5 year plans, careers, the need to impress others. The past no longer exists, learn from your mistakes, and move on. The future doesn't exist, you could die in your sleep. All you have is the present. You can only control 2% of your life, your decisions and your reactions. Chaos isn't what's it's commonly thought of, something awful, chaos means constant change. Evolution is chaos. The only constant in life is change. Oh, chaos adheres to the laws of probability.
You must be very wise lmao cause I completely agree. Life is change. To flow with life you must embrace change, but resist it. Not seek to satisfy society or others before you take care of your own mind, body, and spirit.
Although I don't believe we control our reactions but I define reaction like reflex. But think we can be aware of our physical and emotional reflexes so we can learn about ourselves and the greater our awareness, the more we can change them for the better or weaken their power over us. I guess you could call it "control" but with the way I define "control" I prefer to call it influence.
I think control might be possible, but at that point you're like, enlightened lmao. I think you are aware of them and then you can choose to let them take over it go a different direction. But long story short 🤣🤣 we definitely have choices.
I must beg to differ a smidge. Lol. When I worked retail I had to control my reactions or I would have lost my job after my first hour🫠 The amount of stupidity and selfishness exhibited by 75% of our customers was mind blowing🤯 That job fucking scarred me for life😕
No doubt, folks will definitely work your nerve and test your patience lmao
I think this comes down to personal definition and connotation of words but in those instances, where we feel forced to show up a certain way for survival, I think suppression is different from transformation. Performing for survival is different from being present. Maybe it's just word salad idk lmaooo but this how I be tryna explain it to myself
Like swallowing something and digesting something aren't necessarily the same. One you just gulp up and the other you process lmao if that makes sense 🤣🤣
