.....So without any further ado -
Don't you just love it when people talk about 'being in control'. (My personal, inner, response is usually - not of me you're not - and then allow myself a wry smile.) It's a strange notion. Very few of us are in control of very much, least of all ourselves! We can't entirely control our own appetites, let alone our thoughts and feelings. If we can't manage that, how can we ever be expected to make anything in the wider world behave according to our wishes?

What are our wishes anyway? What do you want? Are you entirely in agreement with yourself, at the moment? Deal with that first; the rest will come.
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. (C S Lewis)
