“Puedes responder a las situaciones de la vida de dos maneras:
actuando o reaccionando. La acción es una respuesta que nace de la
presencia, y jamás genera sufrimiento. Es inofensiva. La reacción es lo
contrario. Siempre genera una cadena de consecuencias negativas. Por
ejemplo, si comes porque sientes hambre, solo para suplir una necesidad
natural de tu cuerpo, esa respuesta es positiva. Pero cuando comes sin
sentir hambre, para aliviar una ansiedad, sobrecargas tu metabolismo,
generando consecuencias dañinas para todo tu sistema.”
“You can respond to life situations in two ways: by acting or reacting. An action is a response that is born of the present moment and it never generates suffering nor causes harm. A reaction is the opposite of this: it always sparks a chain of negative consequences. For example, if you eat because you are hungry, simply to fulfill a natural need of your body, this is a positive response. But if you eat when you are not hungry, to alleviate some anxiety, then you overload your metabolism, generating harmful consequences for your whole body.”
