See, that's why I worry.  Not because of lack of control, not because of control... but because of uncertainty of control and uncertainty of worthwhileness of control.

That's why I worry.

Let me try and put your mind at rest. 
I don't mean to come across cynical, but the longer you live, the more you realize, that you in fact control f*** all. At most, you may have some choices - if you're lucky, but they're also largely inconsequential. 
So I wouldn't worry too much about it. 
Just buckle up and enjoy the ride.
