Release Message:  Man can never be free of control, for to be free of control is to be controlled by oneself.

Description:  Man can never be free of control, for to be free of control is to be controlled by oneself. On a personal level, it refers to the phenomenon by which the harder a person tries to control something, the more difficult it becomes to exercise that control. Examples that are often given of this phenomenon are: (1) the harder you try to fall a sleep, the more difficulty you have actually falling asleep; (2) the harder you try to stop thinking about something, the more you think about it; (3) the more you try to control negative emotions such as fear, the more powerful those emotions become.
