Don’t react, respond. The internet wants you to react, not respond.
The entertainment industry wants you to react, not respond.

The political system wants you to react, not respond.
The military industrial complex wants you to react, not respond. The advertising industry wants you to react, not respond.

Facebook wants you to react, not respond. Everyone who is caught in the world of reaction wants you to react. All abusers want you to react.

Everyone who is in pain but who don’t want to face their pain wants you to react, not respond. The whole world of suffering wants you to react, not respond.

Turn the world upside down and don’t react. Break the cycle and create something different. Rebel against the world of reaction. Act counterwise to the world of suffering like a force of negentropy.

Be the big Self (or develop a strong ego as Neo-Freudians might say, or a non-self as Buddhists might say) and don’t react. Be in the space between stimulus and response.

In the space between stimulus and response is your character, your humour, your awareness, your creativity, your love. In the space between stimulus and response is your embodied soul as it manifests in this world.

In the space between stimulus and response is the end of your suffering, the counterforce to war and the solution to the agony of the world.
