The Importance Of Our Response

Our response to any statement or situation tells us everything about our own mental make-up.
It is our responsibility to understand how our reactions got there, and who or what is deciding this.

Take a phrase like ‘controlled chaos’; how do we react to this?
Is it a hair product? Or is it social engineering organised to create opaque confusion (opaque from Latin opacus‘darkened’), or do things like controlled chaos not happen?

It is our response en masse – or lack of it – that controls the world. How? Because confusion has already taken place, and we are the consequence. Observe how we justify everything to the level of our understanding; notice how, before a sentence is completed, we have gone off into memories.

Most of us do not question ourselves, hence the advice; know thy self.
When we give away our power, we relinquish responsibility – and we suffer the consequences.
