Transcript
00:00When something goes nicely, we like to claim credit. When things do not turn up as they should,
00:06we balk away. The ones who can look at life with sharp insight, the one who can have some
00:13detachment and intelligence will realize that we actually have close to zero control over what is
00:20going on externally. Even if for a while it appears that we are indeed in control,
00:27very soon that illusion is exposed. We believe, we behave, we rather pretend
00:34as if we are the movers and shakers, we are the doers. And when life ruthlessly exposes the
00:41falseness of this belief, then we are shattered. There is very little that we actually control.
00:48Chance, randomness is a great, great power. However, there is one thing that is bigger than
00:55chance. And that is who you really are.
