Reacting usually doesn’t work. We react too quickly, with too much intensity and urgency. Rarely can we do our best at anything in this state of mind. The irony is that we are not called upon or required to do things in this state of mind. There is little in our lives we need to do that we cannot do better if we respond from a place of peace. Few situations—no matter how greatly they appear to demand it—can be bettered by us going berserk. Why do we do it, then?
