We all have to understand that we are not in control of life and never have been, we have for the last few decades felt that we have been though. But this is not the case it’s more of an illusion and mirage type effect, about how we look at our lives and our futures. If we have things in place then we can feel that life is moving in the ways that we want and that we are in control of this, maybe we see going to university as our next step or we are at the other end of our working life and we see retirement as our next step. We can also have events planned and things in our diaries which give us the illusion of being in control of our destiny. Which of course to a certain extent is true, as we are the ones that choose to go to university or set a date to retire, we book holidays and meals out and plan things to do in our lives. This is the parts that we do have our free will and choice to decide on the things that we want to do, but even with these, we have limiters. If we can't afford to live without working then we can't retire, if our friends aren't available then we can't meet them for dinner. But things like the pandemic shows us that we aren't in control at all and life can take a different course at the drop of a hat.
