A light in the dark

DBW comments to my recent posts made me look at things from slightly different angle. As always her comments are insightful and reach, and make me look, well beyond their stated intentions. Whether they have such intentions, or I make them up :-)
I found a difference between the child in me and the grownup in me that I never saw before. They both start from the same starting point: the control freak; the need to control in order to not lose the internal balance. Somewhere along the life of a person, one develops an internal balance that guides him all his life. For some reason, that is irrelevant for this post, mine is very small and easily pushed off. The child and the grownup take it in completely different directions.
The child tries to control situations and others by acting out and trying to manipulate others and situations. Most of the times the acts are misplaced and absurd and if they don't make things worse, they definitely don't help.
The grownup in me on the other hand does only 1 thing: tries only to control himself and lets everything else just be and happen with a tranquility and ease as if there is no other way. In reality there is no other way.
DBW: You're amazing. Thank you.

It's Thursday night. Time to go party :-)
