One of the most obvious and significant observations I have made during my time on Earth, is that, humans really like to enact a sense of control over another living thing.

Now, this can be observed over a broad spectrum:

Spouse needing to control spouse.

Partner needing to control partner.

Parent needing to control child.

Friend needing to control friend.

When you get to know someone closely, you inevitably get to know what/who it is they need to have a sense of control over. 

I, however, desire to control nobody. The closer you get to me, the more and more you will realise, I have no desire to control any person or any thing. 

I don't even put a collar on my cat. Because I don't want him to feel controlled in that way.

The only person I wish to have control over, is myself. 

Perhaps this is why there's no desire to control anything or anyone outside of me. Because I am in control of my own mind.
