“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
This saying was attributed to George Bernard Shaw on my most recent Good Earth teabag tag.
I think his words speak to our current discussion:
Do we let other people determine our behavior?
Shaw’s saying suggests the importance of creating our own response; a response which promotes qualities we value.
This is a complicated subject. Keep letting me/us know what you think. Do you have to make a conscious effort to not give what you are offered but instead give what you want to receive? Are there times when responding rudely would be appropriate?
Thanks for exploring the mystery –
