Do you know that the belief in a highly predictable future distorts the very fabric of reality? In quantum physics, the act of observing a particle automatically change how the particle behaves. When the mind has too much certainty about the future, the future becomes entangled with the past. In that distortion, the present moment is seen as a burden that needs to be controlled rather than experienced. So instead of enjoying the moment, you manipulate it. While the desire to decide your fate is certainly ambitious, the impulse to dictate the how, when, and where of every situation is fear disguising itself as power.
