out of control

sometimes we say as a joke that it would be nice if life - and people - were to come with an instruction manual and a guide, so we could follow it and better figure out what to do in some situations. and yet, the most detailed guide would be quite flawed. the truth is, there is no guide for unpredictability - and life (and people) are unbredictable by nature. two situations may seem similar, and what worked out in the first time might well miss the mark completely in the second time. it's funny. we try to give to our lives some semblance of control and order, but the truth is, life is ruled by chaos, and we have no control whatsoever.

we do never lose control of our lives then, simply because we were never given any control over it.
