Oh this is the exact opposite of what I believe!
People tend to see life as this autonomous....thing... that they're sort of just along for the ride with. But that's just not true. You're not a participant of the show: you are the show! Like I said earlier in the topic, life only exists because you are in it! Being alive and conscious makes you the CENTER of the universe and everything it contains. It has to be. Because you're you, and everything around you is shaping your experience! And when you die, nothing will really matter, because you won't be conscious to experience it. You're driving the train. You are in control of your own life. Even things outside of your control quickly return to your control because, although those things will affect you, it is how you react to these things and how you handle yourself during and after the fact that will ultimately have the greatest impact upon you.
So it's sort of a combination of realizing there are a lot of things about life that you cannot control, but the way you react to these things allows you to resume control (so, yes, not only can you feel AND react, but your reactions are crucial to achieving the life you want for yourself.)
That might have been a lot of mumbo jumbo to you, and I understand that my armchair philosophy may do very little to help your perspective, but I felt like I had to say something.
Hmm.. control... am i in control of my own life? this is not so obvious, sometimes seems to us we have everything under control but after all it turns out that we were very wrong.
But as of course there is an opposite situation, it seems to us that we don't control but we come out of the situation as winners!
As the polish guys say ... everything depends on the "point of seat"...or you make your bed, you sleep in it.
Anyway ..we were talking about our own life and not about what we think about it ... because my life is totally different from what I think about it.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day."
