How much success do you think someone can realistically hope for if they want to limit or control the quantity or nature of the harsh realities of this world [by which I mean the ones that are beyond their control or don't have direct impact on them] that intrude upon their everyday personal lives?

Perhaps questions about other people's "limited intelligence" an "ignorance" belong on a different thread?
