Control...can be good?

I agree with alot of what you said in your post Alexia, however I do not believe your view that nothing good can ever come out of being controlled by someone else. On a grand scale I am sure you would agree that we are all ultimately controlled by our modern societies, laws and governments. They generally shape our beliefs and influence our concious in there own ways whether we realise it or not. Although I would say some of the laws and practices, that Britian in particular, has recently adopted has taken political correctness too far. I would imagine that our world would be in dire straits if people were trusted to control their own lives. Ultimately, we need to have expectations and rules set out by others in order to live or lifes well and to know who we want to be or what we want to accomplish. Without some degree of control, we would be lost.
