Yes! Because there are things in this world that you cannot control and never will never be able to. All you can do is accept it. It comes down to people too. You cant change people and they will always be as they will.

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down

mankind's biggest mistake is to think they're in control.
not control over itself but rather a delusional perception of their ego maniacal needs. control is the foundation of civilization and still is: 10'000 years ago agriculture was developed and humans stopped and settled, giving rise to a new era - a control over nature; probably like a mystical experience at the time, that of playing god.

even today, control is a mass-spreaded multi-faced concept. consumerism, corporate state, military, education and so on.

so if control is so embedded in human culture since the genesis of the first civilizations how can it not be devastating for people who lose control over situations? whatever they might be it doesn't matter, the egoic mind feeds on control so it crashes every time.

acceptance is the only way to really deal with the realization of not being in control. life is constant movement and we fail to keep it's pace right when the urge for imprisoning it (/controlling it) comes.

We are not apparently individually in control, according to you.  Acceptance of your lack of control.  You are going in circles.

I don't see where accepting being controlled is helpful, or accepting that you are not in control of yourself is helpful.  You propose both ideas which is a flat contradiction to begin with.

I see more control than you would even begin to know.  But why shall I take the time to "educate" you or anyone else?  The truth is far worse than most would believe, but I have accepted it and that's good.  To feel the need to "help" the ignorant understand is a waste of my time.
Better to let them stay ignorant anyway, they neither have the brain power nor will power to understand the way things really are let alone accept that unfortunate reality.

i never said being controlled is helpful. i said the idea of control is being spread from the beginning of times to this day - like a plague.
accepting not being in control releases you from the limitations from something that is not real.

and how miserably insecure human being can you be to be saying that you see more than i or others could possibly know? here's the hipster move again, you're killing it.
i'm sorry if you put yourself up in that mountain to fake a control over your shitty ego, don't trip over zarathustra while you're at it!

and since you're still not putting any of your brilliant ideas on the table here's a better page for your posts.

why don't you tell us what isn't real, and how your lack of control "released you from limitations".  sounds like some real loser shit, oops there's my big ego talking again.

NO .. you keep willing to pick from life, as if it is perfect .. when it is the opposite totally .. life is evil always .. freedom is never a life .. freedom is always generating plural freedom while objective else reality completely free too happening

acceptance ???? berk .. accept what ??? what value is that on the constant level of it ??? you are accepting for how long ??? what did you see coming out of it ??? how much did you pay for such lesson ??? no but really what did you get back ???

the word accept, acc ept .. is meaning the skill to agree with else .. but that is no way for anything ... this is exclusively for the individual state while conscious, to mean having fun in inventing how it is still related to everything actions on the superior level of all right existence .. but of course not .. what has the time for abstract contracts ... surely not a thing and surely more nothing

what you really could mean, is what accepting fact prove that free wills is not true .. either the right exist so the freedom is present or else is right so the present is objective free existence and not own wills

but accepting fact in itself is negative matter always ... what matter positively when meaning else, is the positive reality of being the same to realize objectively, and also the freedom right to impose in the same dimension of being .. the right to never see the other or else, if the freedom so the existing conscious wants that, see it right

because even when right superiority is perceived existing, self conscious could decide or mean the right to get away from .. the right to be else, so free absolutely out of all

what you believers keep insisting to mean, is the rejection of freedom, while it is the exclusive right perceived of existence realms ..

when what exist is what is true, and what is true is what move alone in superior way ... then, objective superiority perspective generates else superiority will .. and this is perfectly right existence

so it is not about acceptance or understanding or rejection .. it is simply freedom value.. merde ! freedom value ...  you can try to accept that as a mantra .. I am sure you cant ! which would prove my point .. no acceptance since not in absolute terms .. or try to accept to eat shit .. what acceptance lesson are you talking about ???
