Maybe we control it all, maybe we work with God or maybe we work with the energy of the universe to get what we wnat and to direct our lives on purpose.
To think there is no control by you oin any level makes the whole thing useless, why bother?

Jeff, try creating a thought. It's not possible. When you try, what you will see is the thoughts move past your awareness purely on their own. What happens is you pick a thought and think, "I will pick this thought." You can't create a single one. So they are not under your control.
Now you may argue that you picked the thought you were going to focus on. I suggest that is also a thought and you did not create that one either. If you take the time out to watch this process for a little while you may be surprised at what you discover.
Saying that it is pointless just comes from the perspective you are at. Is it possible there is another perspective in which it doesn't look pointless? Your statement claims you have the best persepective to judge the value of reality.
