I think you said it perfectly!
I tend to be a control freak, BUT... that is only in the context of controlling MY reactions to the world around me. We can not control, nor should we try to control, other people. Most things/events are out of our control but what we can do is control how we react. Things are going to happen the way they are going to happen.
And, I like the choice you made.
