 Response Vs Reaction





Response Vs Reaction

At a Restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere
and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken
face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately
trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in
her group also got panicky.

The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but
it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady
in the group to continue the drama.

The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay
of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.

The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the
behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he
grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna
of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach
responsible for their histrionic behavior? If so, then why was the waiter not
disturbed?  

He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.
It is not the cockroach, but the inability of the ladies
to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed the ladies.

I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or
my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the
disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me. It's not the traffic
jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance
caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.  

More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem
that creates chaos in my life.

Lessons learnt from the story:

I understood, I should not react in life.
I should always respond.
The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.
Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are
always well thought of, just and right to save a situation from going out of
hands, to avoid cracks in relationship, to avoid taking decisions in anger,
anxiety, stress or hurry.
