Thread: Do your control your dreams? Or do your dreams still control you?

That's pretty much the point. These things are only negative if you let them rule you (even then, it is a societal moral judgment). Once you learn to live with them, respect them, and embrace them, you can stop being controlled by them. These instincts will always be a part of you. You just need to learn to be at peace with them.

I don't believe so. If that were true, we would abandon any path that required hard work. That is not freedom, it is laziness.

I think the journey is an important part of the learning process.
