What does a person gain when they give up control or power and is it worth it?

Maybe they gain control of themselves instead of other people. It would be worth it.

Loss = Gain I would imagine the first thing that would go would be the constant and unrelenting urge to prove themselves to be disapointed, and frustrated with those they view having failed them and eagerness to exert their over the top expectations on.

Worth= Just think of the air and sigh of relief when a person realizes and comes to an understanding that they don't HAVE to be the one who lays out the master plan for everyone else and stand in the spotlight accepting the awards, or the abuse of blame.

When they give up control and power, they give up anxieties, expectations, pressure, perhaps not fully, but to some extent. And some people have testified that when they gave up the burdensome consequences of power and control, they experienced simple life, and in simplicity they became happier. I don't know if it's worth it, though. I haven't given up control and power yet.

My gut reaction is a person gives up power they don't have to begin with. In a way, we are all powerless and controlled by others. I'd explain why but I'm grumpy today and my answer probably would reflect that, and not be accurate.

When you give up control or power, you also drop the

weight of the responsibilties that come with them.

Now, Is that 'worth it' to you?

if you give up something it could be more precious then you know you can give up your wealth that's precious its worth it if you have something more precious.

you can give up your house that's precious that's worth it if you have something more precious

but you would never give up power over your child you gain pain its not worth it.

strangely enough, giving up having them, gives you them a bit more, over yourself anyway

you still cant control much else in life

whops. sarnath'd.
