Even on a less metaphysical level, this world has WAY too many variables to believe in any kind of "control". You could be killed 30 seconds from now by an errant plane engine crashing into your house, or any of a million other random events.
Chaos all the way, baby - its the only way to live.

you can control yourself to some extent .. you can control your actions.
you can do risk management and minimize the possibilities of negative events which is a form of control.
(speeding, driving drunk, etc - choices within your control to minimize the risk of an accident you cause)
life is about balance.
the balance between realizing (and exercising) what you can control and what you can't is one facet of the larger balance.
all chaos is not balance.
