| The World is Out of Control
by Dave Rhea
I hear this phrase a lot: “The world is out of control.” So, I started thinking about what “out of control” means. In this phrase’s cheapest usage, it’s a way for cable-news channels, for example (but certainly not exclusive to them), to attract and retain an outraged audience. In another usage, it could bring to mind personal behavior, such as addiction or compulsion. For this article, those examples are not what I mean by “out of control.”
When I think about that phrase, I associate it with helplessness. To qualify this term, I think of helplessness as experiencing an unwanted situation or prospect with an inability to do much or anything about it. In daily life, we deal with this proposition all the time. For example, take something to which all Oklahomans can relate: The family plans to [choose your adventure]. Instead, a freak storm occurs causing flights to be cancelled. Or on a more severe level, a bona-fide universal example: The family [or any human] plans to [choose any goal], but along comes a freak global pandemic, and … well, you know the story. That is what I mean by helplessness; circumstances that are out of one’s control.
I don’t think it’s a judgement error to say that nobody likes feeling helpless. However, on many levels, it’s no big deal. It’s hard to image someone truly suffering from a state of helplessness if a restaurant is out of one’s desired salad dressing – yet, it is indeed out of your control, and you are helpless to do anything about it.

Dear Rotarians,
Over the past few weeks, we’ve had several members reach out asking how they might be able to assist with the crisis in Ukraine. The World Service Committee met last Tuesday and discussed ways to provide support to Ukrainian refugees as they flee to Poland and other countries. Given the scale and speed of the crisis, the committee has requested the Club and Foundation move quickly to assist the many refugees in need. As one of the largest clubs in the world, and one who is quite familiar with the generosity of clubs around the world supporting Oklahoma disasters, the committee would like to make an impactful contribution of $20,000 commiserate with our size and commitment to the affected refugees.
