Let go of controlling everything!

Few days back i stumbled on a video by Allan watts "Let go of controlling everything": It beautifully explains how you can control someone by not controlling. The basic point here is to delegate authorities to the one doing a task/certain things instead of controlling him on what needs to be done. I have no idea how long this is going to stay in my mind.



And today after almost two years i felt like watching the movie "FIGHT CLUB" again. After all, watching this movie for the second time didn't really bore me. Instead, i was able to get a deeper understanding of most of the dialogues. At some point while watching movie, i thought i listened to a same dialogue in a mellow voice of Allan watts that is posted above. Here is that video clip from fight club in a modern aggressive way.

Well, i feel it is correct to let go things which you can't really control. I see my neighbors hitting to make their children to listen to them. You can find this controlling behavior in everyone of us in all context. Instead, let's try to sway our loved ones by letting them to do they want to.

You are right, some times you feel you know life better than your loved ones and that might trigger you to control them. Did you know how a child learned to speak? Did you know how you made some decisions in your life? All of us are influenced by external world. So, you be the influential factor for your loved ones.
