A lot of people need to see this. If you don't control something, you will be disappointed eventually. Philosophically this can even be extended to your mortality.

Ah, but this brushes an interesting, yet inevitable fact: there is no such thing as control. We tend to imagine to have control to various degrees, as that makes it easier to cope with the chaos around us. Still, we have to accept the fact that we’re all going to die, eventually, for example. Many people never do that; they simply pretend they’re immortal, until one day something bad happens and shakes them awake.

I guess what I’m getting at is that change is inherent to life. By accepting that things will change, no matter how much „control“ you imagine to have about them, you will probably be happiest in the long run.

True, but we always have some sort of agency over this.
