Wise View

As long as you hold on to the view
that you can take charge of a situation
and force it to become tolerable again,
you do not hold wise view.

In a wise view,
you recognize that it is not your job,
nor is it in your power,
to control what happens outside of you. 

You understand that instead,
you must control what happens within your own mind. 
Then, and only then,
can you stop operating out of
anxiety, fear, insecurity, and distrust,
and instead
allow wholesome emotions
to guide
your thoughts and behaviors.
