We spend our days controlling: ‘I must,’ ‘I must not,’ ‘I should,’ ‘I should not.’ Suppressing, expanding, holding, withdrawing, being attached and breaking away from attachment, exercising will to achieve, to struggle, to build—in this there is always a direction. Where there is direction there must be control. We spend our days controlling, and we do not know how to live a life completely free of control. It demands tremendous inquiry, great seriousness to find out a way of living in which there is not a shadow of control.
~Jiddu Krishnamurti
