There are some people who always try to control others. But, seldom do they understand that they are losing their own freedom when they are trying to control others. Each and every person has got his own mind and conscience. People do things according to their conscience. When someone tries to control their deeds and work, they tend to get annoyed and thus, it may lead to big issues and quarrels. So, it is always better to control yourself rather than trying to control others. Only a stable mind can control itself. So, try to be stable always.
Only a controlled mind can have a controlled body. For example, when your mind goes out of control due to anger, your body tends to do things that can hurt or injure others. So, maintaining the control of mind is very important. Moreover, if you really wish to control and change the attitude of others, then, you will have to undergo that change yourself first. Some people may get angry if you do not listen to them properly. But, before getting angry, you have to think whether you always listen to everyone. Most of the times, the answer will be ‘no’. You have the right to control others only if your answer is a ‘yes’.
Why you should not control others?
The world can live in peace only if people go hand in hand with mutual respect and maintain an honorable relation with each other. When you try to control some other person, then, it means that you are not giving any respect for his personality and decisions. You are just treating him like an idiot or an animal. Nobody likes to be treated like that. The dignity and right of the other person will get hurt while trying to control him. Causing damage to human right is actually considered as a crime. So, if you try to control someone, you can even be called a criminal.
Most of the marriages nowadays fail due to this reason of trying to control each other. A mere control cannot do any harm. But, anything can become harmful, when used in extra amounts. Same is the case here too. Over controlling is not a good recommendation between people.
Also, through trying to control others, you are getting more and more concerned about the other person, which can cause you to lose your own freedom. You might always think about ways of controlling others.
How to control yourself from controlling others?
