Do you believe one should live life, and not let life live him or her?

When you really think about it, life is unpredictable often times. So, we are subject to submitting to the wonders of life. Humans 'living life' says that we as humans control life, when really we dont because like i said, its unpredictable. Now, life can 'live' us meaning control us because we have to adhere to its unpredictable events.
