We dream of better days and circumstances for ourselves and for others who are dear to us. We desire to have our needs fulfilled. We may want to be in control of our reality, seeking to turn our visions and dreams into reality through acquisition of the power to control the course of events. Such acquisitive wants are likely to be frustrated because they often correspond to visions which cannot be fulfilled. Visions of control are frustrating visions, because such visions do not correspond to meaningful realities in the realms of the possible. Other people also have such visions; and for their visions to be fulfilled they would have to be in control of us, and in control of our visions. Visions of being in control cannot all be fulfilled; and so essentially none of them can be fulfilled. It is difficult to authentically ask for other people's cooperation and gifts; for to do so is to acknowledge our inability to control others and to acknowledge their right and power to turn down our request. If they are not authentically free to turn down our request; then it is meaningless to us for them to grant our request. For human relationships to be meaningful they must be free of coercion and violence. We cannot meaningfully fulfill our visions through coercion and violence. We deceive ourselves and each other when we pretend otherwise. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
