Control freaks (9 April, 2023)

The apotheosis of the controlling mind is monstrous and terrifying.

– Stewart Stafford, American author

Control freaks traditionally tend to have a psychological need to be in charge of things and people — even circumstances that cannot be controlled.

The need for control, in extreme cases, stems from deeper psychological issues such as obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders or personality disorders. This aptly and amply describes the type of leaders we vote into power.

Serious study of the mechanics of the willing citizenry entrapped in this OCD system of control yields frightening facts and circumstances.

We must be controllable freaks because we accept control by unnecessary laws, regulations, rules and policies. We are certainly afflicted with the Stockholm Syndrome.
