Buddy this all seems contradictory. You choose but you let go? You have the answers but you don't? You control it all but it fades?
That is probably because you are thinking and speaking in absolutes. I never said I 'control it ALL'. Nor did I say 'choosing' and 'letting go' apply to the same event or situation at the same time. But they can.
We're always presented with choices in every aspect of our lives - no matter what the situation. To that extent we are in control of some part of that situation. It may be small, it may be large. But it's there.
While we Can choose how we react and deal with our life's experiences, we can NOT control others, that's when we need to let go. In many ways, by 'letting go' of something we are in control - of ourselves.
We have ALL 'figured out' life. It's just that some of us have only figured out ENOUGH of life to survive, while others have figured more. Regardless, none of us have it ALL figured out. As you say, if someone tells me that I say BS.
