About a Boy: An Exploration on Control

These days I dread, rest my head.

I roost the fire like a hawk in white down,

as I'm coming down, I'm coming down.

The world in fruition, a death of the nation,

the burnt military rations of the dying faction.

Another day spent in my mind, the weeks

they burn, no other can find what has been lost inside my mind.

Yeah, I don't know what that lame poem was for, really. But now on to the actual writing! "It happens, and I wish it didn't, but that's life, isn't it?"

Many things in this world are out of our control. As a matter of thought, I wonder if anything is truly within our grasp. Maybe we can shape something to be different, but at its core, it is the same. It is as it always is. Atomically, it is the same; molecularly, it is the same; there may be a discoloration here and there but at the base of it all, everything is out of our control. You see, things in this world follow a certain state of laws, much like a law of matter. It follows these laws because if they did not then the very structure of this world would just be an unorganized mess. Imagine the grass growing in thick, pulsing rock-like clumps; or the wood in trees forming a large wall, with the roots growing upwards to form branches. If the world were like this then this world would be unstable and therefore unpredictable. 

This also applies to certain people. Some people are submissive, bending at every command; but inside them, they have a voice of their own, they are just afraid to say it. Some people are controlling, or attempt to be so, but these people can only control the weak and thus, cannot control a person who knows his or her place. So, I guess you could assume that with this knowledge, try as we may, we shall never understand or comprehend the world around us as it will always remain quite a mystery;  which, for us, makes the world unpredictable. We desire to be in control, as that is what our minds were designed to do: To change things in such a way that allows us to use it to our advantage. So then, we are never really in control; we are not in control at all.

You just have to learn to accept what you cannot control. You can fight back but this does not mean that you will succeed; however, this may be proven incorrect. But I say to you this: We shall never truly understand what we cannot control, and all we can assume is that there are sets of natural laws that the world has to abide by, or else (even if we do not understand it) it could fall.
