You can't have everything just the way that you want it to be
We all like to feel as if we are in control. We can't help it. We are made that way. So, you may wish to ask, what about the people who seem to act as if they really don't care what happens because they are so easy-going and happy-go-lucky, that whatever happens is fine with them? Well, it is not that they are only pretending, or even that they are kidding themselves but somehow, they have taken control of their own fear of losing control! That gives them all the power they need.
Something isn't always better than nothing. Under some circumstances, it can be far better to have the right kind of nothing than the wrong kind of something. When, for example, we find ourselves putting up with entirely unsatisfactory situations, we tell ourselves 'well, this is my only option, I had best make the most of it.' That may be so if it is our only option but what if it isn't?
