You may like the idea of it; to pretend that we can micro-manage our lives and make all the right decisions, do all the right things, and say it all perfectly.
Then reality sneaks in, pulls the blanket out from under your picnic, and you realize the controller you'd been gripping so tight, doesn't control this game. Quite simply because it's not a game, but in the grand scheme of things, I think we're ignoring what our role is supposed to be in this life.
Perhaps by intervening, we change our course, like those time travel clips where a bug was stepped on and some how it changed the entire destiny of some one's life. As melodramatic as that may be, I hope it creates a sense of acceptance that things are the way they should be, whatever that may be.
When we can learn to accept that we can not change our past, and we resist the temptation to try to control our future, we can come to accept and enjoy being present.
