Any mental health label can be used against you - as can many of the long term medical labels. I agree we cannot control them. We cannot control anyone or anything but our own self. Letting go of the idea that we need to somehow control someone or something we are not the central operator of is the only thing that will ever keep a person at peace within themselves in this world - or at least the only one I have found.
If you try to "fix" a broken system .. you may actually change some rules and laws ... but does that mean there will never be "exceptions" made to those rules or laws or that they will never be changed back or that everyone will follow them?
If you try to make someone understand your point of view - does that mean they will even listen?
The answers of course are "no" ... BUT... you can control your actions, your thoughts, your beliefs, your feelings about something, and your emotions.
If you DECIDE you BELIEVE it is important enough to attempt to fix a broken system .. you can ACT on it.. that way you can then FEEL satisfied you did all you could and therefore feel the EMOTION of peace. That's an example..
I hope that makes sense?
