Do you hope for something you have no control over?

Like meeting the right person? Or that your children turn out alright, or something to that effect. Do you feel comfortable with the idea that you can try your best, but in the end you dont have control. Do you trust in a higher power, destiny, or luck?Do you hope for something you have no control over?
Yes. I am a freelance writer and, so, am always `hoping' for something I have no control over. I can write the best piece I'm capable of, proofread and edit it to an insane level, but, finally, it's up to the Editor or Assistant Editor or `reader' of a magazine to publish that piece and I have NO control over their mood the day they read my piece or what their literary tastes are. In this regard, I trust in luck. I'm always hoping that whichever Editor reads my piece is in the right mood to read that particular piece. All I can do is the best I can do - the rest is just luck %26amp; chance. No, I don't believe that when a story/article of mine is accepted that it was `meant to be'.Do you hope for something you have no control over?
Yeah. Sometimes it can be a relief to have things outside of my control. I don't believe in destiny, luck, or what you call a higher power, but there are still circumstances where things are outside of an individual's control, and that can be relaxing.





I don't think that having their children turn out alright is something that many people want to be outside of their control, though.
I trust we have not yet discovered to name adequately a higher power. So, I'd say that there are influences affecting us with far more knowledge than we have. And I do not speak of religion. As to be hopeful against very strong odds for my hopes and wishes to come true? No, I do not do so. I'd think that would be futile and an expenditure of energy which could be applied to something more of prospect. I can accept trying my best without winning, because I had not the control to deem me the winner. Luck is playing dice.


Destiny is wishful thinking.


I am not without motivation by far, but I accept what I may not like to accept; I call that the chaos of life or the nature of life. As with nature and the weather, I do not scheme against these. They are indifferent, no matter how anthropomorphic I make them to cushion my dreams.
I hope for NCLB to go away or at the very least acknowledge that suffering and impoverished kids aren't ready to jump through the hoops that the affluent kids can and that the teacher's busting their buts for minimal pay should quit being made to seem inferior because they are not Midas. I do not depend on fate or destiny... I pray for justice and compassion.
I wanto become a vampire and i know that i cant:(


i also want to live happily and see everyone else living happily but nobody have control over it.


i cant control my own luck, i hope i could:P
What i hope for is control. People lack the common sense required to make rational choices, if i was in control, all the decisions could be made by me, thus in turn making me much happier.
I hope for another day of life and the wits to use it effectively.





But I am prepared for the inevitable disappointment.
Mah opinion is that we should for what we feel is right.If we you think its not worth hoping for,than no.
