Control

What is control and why do others try to control others?
It may be through  manipulation, money, force, abuse and a myriad of other methods.
Why cant people just accept others as they are ?

I just heard the other day a phrase.. ideas have people , people dont have ideas.  For example the political arena, Between the Democrats and the Republicans, people get on board of an idea, and do not waiver ,and get angry and even violent at times, if the other side does not convince the other to think like they do?

Bizarre
I may not agree with someone, but whey do we get angry if we can not convince them otherwise? They are free to feel the way they want, they may not always be free to act on their thought for feelings, but they have fee will and are allowed to feel as they wish.. Who are we to tell someone otherwise?

But what happens when  your control turns into abuse and hurts others? then, that is crossing the line and is wrong. What can we do about it, call the police? they don't always help, call CPS, they dont always know whats best... a friend family, I have heard it said in Religious circles, that you can never rely on Man.. he will let you down. ( and with this, they mean mankind, not man), and that you need to give all of your cares , burdens, worries, anxieties over to God. 

Does that mean , just let it go, forget about it, I guess it means , to an extent , yes let it go, empty your thoughts, move on, let him carry your burdens, but we all know that is it not that easy to do.
In Buddhism, the saying goes "take a tea" I guess that is similar, let it go?  Maybe time out, relax, do the Spanish and Europeans have it right,,, take a siesta,, in the middle of the day,, can you imagine in American if someone just quit work in the middle of the day, and just stops working?
yup most likely the would be canned. it can be a cruel world out there for many , so what are they to do?

How to pick yourself up, get goals... get a life coach, the people that can afford a life coach probably are the ones who don't need one.. When you need help.. do you call a lawyer? who can afford one of those? and if you actually have a job, then the so called social services, wont help you because it for people who don't have the means... However ,even most working people  don't have the means for an attorney.

People try to control you, Governments try to control you, employers control you, parents, spouses, The Legal process, People with money, who is really free?
