“There is a difference between reacting which is impulsive and responding which is the result of thought. people who react are controlled by the heart, people who respond are controlled by the mind.”

Difference between Reacting & Responding – WISE PICK

This is very interesting to me. I understand what is being said but I overstand it in a different way. I find reaction to be a mind impulse kind of like a thoughtless effect of an outside stimuli. Like the way an eye will close without much thought if an object cones to close. A defense mechanism . While I view a response as an act of compassion..one that does require thought but thought originating from the heart center of a being.
