00:00
Someone comes and says something unpleasant to you.
00:02
Do you need to just immediately, unthinkingly explode, as most of us do?
00:08
Or can you tell yourself, I'm not an animal, I can wait, I can be patient.
00:12
Let me at least think over it.
00:14
And if I think deeply, the thought will sublimate into understanding.
00:18
Even if I can't go to that depth of thought, let me at least try to think.
00:22
Let me at least postpone the reaction.
00:25
Because the reaction belongs to the jungle, to the animal, to the caveman.
00:29
Am I jungly?
00:30
In the jungle, we didn't have haircut.
00:32
No one wore clothes in the first place.
00:34
When you have dropped all that, why can't you drop your reactiveness?
00:38
If you live by the code of the animal, you will live the life of a slave.
00:42
The more reactive and the more emotional you are, the more easily you will be enslaved.
