In all of our efforts to make the perfect world there is one constant that people will always face. We cannot control other people. We can enslave. We can bribe. We can even manipulate and convince. But we will never have complete control over other people. And aside from dictatorial domination, do you really want to control those you have relationships with? Controlling myself is hard enough, I sure as hell don't want to keep watch over what other people say, do and especially think. Yet, as simple as this fact may be, we are so conditioned to try to control others in our heads that we don't realize we do this all of the time. The very instant you get upset, the very second you react back your efforts are to control the situation and often other person. Of course, we need to insert our influence in much of what we do. However, we need to keep in mind that other people have the right to do what they do (so long as it does not infringe), feel what they feel and, perhaps most importantly, think what they think. This is the very foundation of freedom and no one on this Earth has the right to take that away. Humans need to feel that freedom within in order to have a healthy balanced life. And while feelings are ultimately the individual's responsibility, we all can help out by respecting other people's private space and freedom. That is, after all, what everyone wants.
