"So Much of Life Is Beyond Our Control."

There are so many things in life that are beyond our control. Every year, there are hundreds if not thousands of devastating natural disasters that occur in divers places around the world. There have been earthquakes and hurricanes like Hurricane Katrina, floods, and even more recently Cyclone Nargis that slammed the city of Myanmar and caused tens of thousands of fatalities and devastation. We cannot control the series of events that take place everyday the minute we walk outside our door. We cannot control the actions and thoughts of others we come in contact with. We cannot control the government. We cannot control nature or its elements. We cannot control the outcome of the sex of an unborn baby. "So much of life is beyond our control."
