We'd like to change circumstances to suit us, but controlling situations and others is rarely possible. Nevertheless, it takes us perfectionists a long time to let go of the illusion of control. The rigid attitude: "to be happy, I must have these, but must avoid these" causes frustration and unhappiness for all concerned.
Learning to feel peaceful, "at home" in this world, comes with a shift in perspective, in attitude. With patient training, rigidity gradually evolves into psychological flexibility.
