He could have been a serial killer or who knows whatever he could have been. So I think like that to help make sure that I keep myself out of trouble and avoid unnecessary situations.
SourceBut after being in that moment, that was the last time that I went anywhere with him, because he was going to potentially put my life in danger of getting into a fight and going to jail in a foreign country or someone getting upset.
And who knows what could have happened in that moment? So we have to think about the potential outcomes, understanding the context on a crowded train where there's no room, there's barely room to breathe. You can't get upset because someone accidentally stumbles and falls because the train shifts. So those are the things that we have to think about.
And that's how we can lose, potentially lose allies and people who want to be connected with us because they see a pattern of behavior that says that you can't be trusted in difficult situations. Because you're going to attack or retaliate when it isn't even necessary. And what I want you to understand and keep in mind that.
When that's our default behavior, we we train our brain to behave a certain way. And when the least bit of stimulus shows up because of what we typically do, that's how we almost always respond. So I encourage you to be very aware of how you react and respond to things that people say, because if you learn a certain behaviors like riding a bike, when you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget when you are trained as a child to make up your bed in the morning.
You don't forget that as you become an adult, you continue to make up your bed. There are certain behaviors, brushing your teeth, certain things you learn to do. And your brain just knows by default this is how I'm supposed to act and respond.
