Sometimes, something unexpected happens in your life that shakes your feeling of being and/or having (self) Control. Such changes can either be negative or positive. I suppose that we refer to surprises in case of positive changes. Negative changes have several nicknames (eg, shock).
In my view, Change is the default in Life, Nature & the Universe, and its eternal force. That Change may cause chaos, a new equilibrium, or a vacuum; see my 2017/2019 and my 2025 diagrams below:


Some bulleted remarks to the above diagrams:
- During the phases of chaos or a vacuum, we will feel that we are lacking any control.
- Only the phase of an equilibrium brings us the feeling of being in / having control (eg, family, home, job, relationship, sport).
- A feeling is more about ratio than emotions.
Any equilibrium is rooted in expectations based upon:
- Doubt, Fear, Hope & Love (eg, family, home, job, relationship, sport);
- Love, Knowledge & Power (eg, companies, governments, people);
- Needs, Wants & Beliefs (eg, body-mind-soul);
- Trust-distrust-mistrust.
Perhaps, trust defines the arrow of time (eg, duration) for an equilibrium and our expectations.
I just felt a new diagram appearing in my mind, creating a mix of the above ingredients.

The above feels like some kind of breakthrough in my thinking.
To be continued.

[Verse 1]
Something’s got a hold of me lately
No, I don’t know myself anymore
Feels like the walls are all closin’ in
