Living as a human takes faith. It doesn't matter what kind of faith you follow, when it comes down to it, learning to let go is the same across the board. Sometimes we are in control of a situation and sometimes we are not. Learning to recognize the difference takes practice. Sometimes we get so caught up with our want of control that we blame someone else for their lack of it. We blame instead of taking a look at ourselves, and our need to relinquish that control, our need to let go completely and just trust. We are humans who do not trust each other, and many times this is because what one person deems trustworthy the other does not. It then becomes a tug-of-war over control and expectations. 

We are all on our own journeys and we all have things to learn. We were brought here knowing the lessons that we would be taught in this human school long before we arrived. We agreed to these lessons. We are not immune to our circumstances, we helped to form them. What we can do is look at everything we come across and say to ourselves "what do I need to learn?". We then take the blame off of the other person and see them instead as our teacher. We remove the need for control and expectation and we look at the world with curiosity instead. All of life becomes a question and a lesson. All of life is being lived for our benefit, as one big web, one ecosystem, one organism. We are both students and teachers, and faith is the classroom we learn in.
