Modern life often trains individuals to believe that happiness is achieved through total clarity and absolute control. Driven by the relentless flow of information, there is an innate, pervasive psychological striving to define, quantify, and ultimately, control every external circumstance and every internal emotional state.

The expectation is that if one simply acquires enough data or perfects ones behavior, the chaos of the world and the turbulence of the inner self will cease.
