Thank you. At times in life, situations make one want to become "submerged by the current of time, losing control of themselves." the pressures of the situation combined with knowing that they can not stop the clock, can be a terrifying thing. A person who, as you put it can "learn to stay in control of themselves even when unexpected events happen" didn't necessarily "take control of the flow of time, take control of their destiny", what they in all actuality have done is learned to take control of their situations. An whether they know it or not actually, assess, planned, implemented and evaluated it to their favor.
"Time is relative, time is subjective" depending on whether or not someone is looking at an accurately set clock. There are two absolutes. "Time waits for no one and death cheats everyone." Events happening is not necessarily absolute. Think about it, if you seen a man you never seen before (and we have been dating for 2 years) give me a hug and a kiss and you were a fair distance away, what would you think that man was to me? He could be someone I am dealing with, he could be a friend or family relative that I have not seen in a long time. The only two things that are absolute in that case is that "You" seen a "Man" kissing me, and how you plan on dealing with it. Sometimes, "moving faster than the world move" can cost you to leave this world.
