Responding Instead of Reacting. There is a profound difference between the concept of reacting and responding. A thermometer reacts to the stimulus around it, reporting things as it reads it. A thermostat, on the other hand, responds to the information it receives, processes it, and makes a change. All too often, we act as thermometers and shout out things from our perspective without thinking, without consideration, and without empathy. When we take the time to input the information and process it, we are able to affect change in our own lives or in those around us.
From where I sit, I will take the time to respond.
