When you see X, what appears in your mind?
X-Men? X-ray. I guess Don't Care seldom appears in one mind. During college study on digital electronics subject, the
X value represents Don't Care. Nah, I am not trying to say anything technical, it just meant Don't Care ;)
Allow me to shift the focus a little. I read from a forwarded email that in this world, there are only three type of matters.
1. The universe nature's matters
2. Other people's matters
3. My own matters
Can you instruct the sun to goes down or the stars to come out?
Can you stop the earth from spinning?
So we can't control universe nature's matters :)
Can you control what people think about you? Oh yes you can do/say something to change one's mind slightly, but you have no control over one's mind.
When you see someone fell down and you offered your hands. If one's decided to stay there, your hands will numb in the air.
Okay, you have no control on other's matters.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's quote to support this ;) By the way, to control other is never in my list :p
Can you look at the mirror and smile?
Can you blink your eyes?
Can you now sit down and stand up?
Yes, we have control's on our own matters. However, sometimes there are still things that we ourselves lack of control.
Sometimes you can't help
falling into someone when first met.
Sometimes you can't help
following one's word/path.
But you will realize one day you can actually control how you think, what you say, what you eat, etc.
In summary,
| Whose matters | Can you Care? | Can you Control? | Will you Care? | Will you Control? |
| 1. The universe nature's matters |

For the blanks, it is your choice to put X, or Yes :)
But keep in mind, things changed, and we will changed depends on situation and environment too. Nothing is absolute.
As long as you are happy :)
