Lately the concept of Control has come to the fore and into focus.

Control is defined as "To exercise authority or dominating influence over; direct; regulate".

The definition brings back the memory Alexander Haag blurting (erroneously) "I am in control",  just after Reagan was shot.

I really didn't consider my self a controlling type person until recently when a new acquaintance entered my life and I suddenly found myself in uncomfortable situations.

I pondered my discomfort and concluded that it stemmed from the fact I wasn't setting the agenda or channeling the flow.

Self control and control of others is a very potent matter with many manifestations and consequences which should be coolly considered and exercised.
