We often fall into the fallacy of being in control. We are never in control because there will always be a larger universe of controllables. Suppose that if you were to run your own business, there are other things that are beyond your control which may dictate the way you run your business.

Conversely, everybody laments that there is no choice. For often, there are choices we can make. Projecting too much foward to predict the future and hence limiting our choices is wrong because there are many uncontrollables in the future. It is such a perfect paradox that because we are not in control that we are really in control.
