[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 704893, member: 18958"] These words resonate TL. In a different way. So much about this Is my own pain. My own fear. The way I have approached life, but I can change. If I feel my son suffers-I feel it viscerally. It is a reaction and not a response. >Let me explain how I distinguish between them. A reaction one can take no control over. Like an allergic reaction. When I am afraid, when I make this about me--what this all means to me, I react. The mind mediates a response. My response is a chosen behavior to some extent. It comes from my own attitudes (which can be changed) and my responses can come from the way I feel about myself, and how I understand life. My responses can come from faith, rather than reactions from fear. Thank you for reminding me of this, TL. [/QUOTE]
