You are exactly right, except that you are not the only one who can think, but what
You think is the only thing that matters.
YOU decide how you react to what you perceive around you.
Your perceptions are what control your reality.
If you perCIEVE an insult, you will feel insulted. It doesn't matter if the other person meant
What they said as an insult, what matters is that YOU perceived it as such.
Your world, your perceptions, your reality.
