I love to study and compare.
The concept of Locus of Control is interesting. One with an outside locus of control feel that what comes at you is controlled by an outside force that you can influence. Those of us with an internal locus of control feel everything is random and all we have control over is how we handle it. Or, how we play the hand we are dealt.
I feel like the luckiest person in the wold, half of it is good luck and the other is bad luck.
I do think The Sermon On The Mountian is beautiful. I do think the world would be better off with more love and forgiveness.
Peace.
