It's not reasonable to assume that everyone has that much control in any situation. Removing yourself from a situation is not always possible. What can you do if it's caused by your environment, like family, school, etc.?
Life does have challenges & there always exists someone who can be miserable in a given situation. That doesn't mean that everything should be normal.
You can definitely affect some things & you might be able to choose how you see some other things. Still, some things are outside your control or "as they should be".
I've never said that anyone "should" have that much control. In fact I literally said almost no one can do it. The controversial thing is me even suggesting that it is possible.
