Control Mechanisms

Why do we feel that we must control other people? Can we not just take control of ourselves first and be satisfied with that?

Think about why we never adjust our Light
When we could be so very, very bright!
Is it perhaps that we entitle our own stipulated fright
To be our own darkness of night?
We must, with our own Insight,
Become our own very Great White Light!
We do not need to cover each other with spite!
