When we operate on the basis of the will to control, we are aware of only one kind of 'evil': the failure of existence to conform to the plan we have for it.

"This very act of consenting to its loss of control is itself the critical event of all crisis. To give up ones stature as the director of ones own existance: this is, for us, the ultimate death, the crisis that undermines our being in the most radical way."
