00:00The ones who can look at life with sharp insight, the one who can have some detachment and intelligence will realize that we actually have close to zero control over what is going on externally.
00:14Even if for a while it appears that we are indeed in control, very soon that illusion is exposed for a while and that while can last a bit, not necessarily five minutes. For five years it might appear that you have control over external situations. The thing is nobody has control over anything.
00:35The very fact of our physical existence is something we did not have any say over, not even the one with the greatest desire for control.
