So we always feel the need to be in control. We hate it if we’re not healthy. We want to be affluent and surrounded by beautiful possessions. We can’t cope if we’re not surrounded by people who like and respect us. We want life to be predictable and easy. We don’t want obstacles in our way or suffering of any kind in our path. So because we can’t control any of these things, we’re perennially unhappy with life, and sadly, often with God.
