Lets all call it the greatest oxymoron of all time and that the seemingly most complicated answers are in fact the most simple.
Where does it actually have a great bearing on us as individuals?
If we are able to control our own destinations, what do we really want in our lives.
For me it boils down to love for our fellow man starting with our nearest and dearest.
If you allow anything to stand in the way of that you are inviting a life full of hurt and uncertainty.
Best wishes to all.
