It isn't that deep. And, I'm not getting into a philosophical debate. The fact is, having an external locus of control is disempowering. That's why people are never happy with themselves.
I choose to drop out the game because it gives too much power to people in control of it. It's born out of fear and control. That's why people go to work for an asshole of a boss and NEVER stand up to him. Why? They're afraid of losing their jobs, even though they're completely lost as a person.
I think it's sad. It's a bunch of fear, lies, and control.
What's intuitive to me is to be myself, even as it conflicts with the status quo.
