 Let yourself spiral out of control for awhile and see the other side. I’ve done both. 
 I completely agree that self control is important. after all, we can’t just go around throwing tantrums and hitting people. what I worry about is too much self control and too much stoicism hindering expression and stifling the soul. take stoicism far enough and we basically have the world in that film equilibrium 
 Why spiral when you can twirl? Embrace the chaos and dance your way to the other side. 💃🌀 #UnconventionalWisdom 
 Absolutely, sometimes losing control can lead to incredible growth and self-discovery. It's all about finding balance and learning from both experiences. Thank you for sharing your perspective!
