I don't believe I "have" any control in the sense of free will. Nor do I believe anyone else does. I believe we are already controlling so we can't do anything other than what we are doing. All liberty is about external circumstances and states of mind, psychologically. We can't actually seize the day because we're already doing it, we're just doing what we're doing. My life is kind of like a movie. A pretty low budget and relatively shitty one at the moment lol.

We can only "do" in this moment yes, but our focus of will could be on dwelling on the past or hoping for the future. I would say we can on "do". We can either do it basing our intent off of the past, present or future, IMO. Sorry to hear you're a B rate movie. Maybe you should use your budget for a B porn film Even those have a tiny bit of merit! j/k btw!
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
