Control
Humans have a tendency to believe in the unreal, to dream and bring themselves comfort thru believe, what god was in the past today is the illusion of control.
The truth is that you have absolutely no control in your life, let me try to explain this. Today in the modern world people want to believe that they are in control of their actions, they wake up, they eat what they want, talk to those they want to talk with. In reality we are codependent, you can only eat what others have chosen to sell you, going from all the way from ready to eat meals to the grains you could by to make your on sour dough bread. You have a choice to buy different stuff, but you are not in control of what is on the shelf’s. The farmer is not in control of what we can grow on his fields, he is just at the mercy of the weather letting him grow his crops.
Do you really believe you are able to choose your own friends, did you ever had a crush on a movie star? Try being friends with her.
There is no control, only growing up accepting life as it comes.
