Control

What is control?? Control is a verb, an action word. Its meaning as described at Dictionary.com is to exercise restraint or direction over; dominate; command. This is life, and alot of what life consists of. Parents controlling thier kids, bosses controlling thier workers, the government controlling many aspects of our lives, and the list goes on. Control, when used in a positive manner can be a good and protective action, especially when it is motivated by love.
When you take a view of your life, you can see how even you take control over certain things. Pets, finances, the color scheme of your home or even your looks.
Control is a very powerful thing. I was once told by someone very wise, "He/She that angers you controls you." This can be said of every situation in our lives. It has been proven that control and power go hand in hand. Once a person realizes that they have control over someone, this gives them a sense of power over that person. That power can be used for good in such cases as Law Enforcement, Prisons, Rehabilitation centers, The Military and so on.
When one finds that the power they now have makes them feel like "nothing" can stop them, is when it becomes dangerous.
Take a husband who finds that his wife is fairly submissive and somewhat eager to please. A husband who is very strong willed, and feels like he "has the authority" to make the wife do what ever he wants. Then one day the wife decides she is tired of being bossed around....What happens??...in many cases this leads to some form of abuse, whether it is verbal, physical or psychological.

Right now, I am having control issues. The husband is not abusive, but is enjoying being controlling over money. Why should I have to go without certain things, and he is able to get whatever he needs?

I guess a job is in order. Hoping that I get the one that I have been hoping for.
