Let me know when you decide to deal in empirical values rather than metaphors.

That is an objective question.

Why can man not control his own emotion, but attempts to control the world? There is nothing metaphorical about that question. Stop dodging it.

I don't need to answer it, it is not even SLIGHTLY related to the topic at hand.

But I will answer you with another question. Why should man be required to control emotion before controlling the world?

Because, not knowing how to control one's self is why people control the world. Those whom control themselves, have no need to control the world in terms of compensation.

He's trolling you. Best to ignore him.

Says the troll-esque coward who can't refute and only scoff based off of assumptions.

What makes you think that controlling the latter won't lead to control of the former?

Because any man who understood himself before the world understood the world before any man who understood the world before themselves.

But a man who understood the world understood himself before he understood the world while understanding the world before himself thereby understanding the self and the world before the world after himself while understanding the world before the world.

That is absolutely wrong. No man who chose to know the world before himself knew himself before the world, and probably still is oblivious to this day. Any man who understood themselves before the world knew the world better than any man who chose to know the world before they chose to know one's self.
