reaction [Theme]
People in one culture may find food disgusting that is considered a delicacy in another culture. We can even “develop a taste” for food by learning how to enjoy something we previously considered unappetizing. All this reveals to us the fact that such a reaction is our subjective projection and the basis for it does not exist by itself in any of the objects we perceive.

Learning is when you know something and then react emotionally to it. And the emotional reaction to what you have learned creates a memory trace. And we call this learning. If you are simply confronted with given pieces of information and have no emotional reaction at all, you are likely to forget it. Research has shown that within one year, you are likely to forget 90% of the information you encounter. Because you don't have an emotional reaction. If I tell you facts right now about something that really doesn't interest you at all, you will most likely forget it within one year, within a few days. So this is the same thing. I know what I know about narcissism, but it doesn't trigger any emotional response. So I keep forgetting the lessons of my life. It's like every single day, I'm reborn as a child. And I make the same mistakes, I face the same problems, I experience difficulties. I do everything wrong again and again, almost without exception. I put myself in danger again and again. There is no learning process here, no cumulative acquired conditioning.

Ironically, people's response to everyday stress is the opposite of what would give them strength. When you cancel appointments with friends, indulge in comfort foods, stay up late watching TV, and skip the gym, it brings temporary relief but further drains your vitality.

In real combat there is no time to think about data. In battle, it’s either you or you.

So, consciousness is what we are aware of: how we understand life, what we think about ourselves and other people. But our brain is ourselves. Every action in our brain, every nervous process, every reaction of our brain is us.

Our reaction to disappointment depends on our perception of events. Therefore, we always have a choice: to experience sadness and despair, or to find new opportunities and a path to a better version of ourselves.

Even more depressing was the reaction of the international community to the civil war in Spain. The fighting began in July 1936, when General Franco decided to overthrow the government of the Spanish Republic and establish a fascist regime in the country. <...> Hitler and Mussolini provided him with material assistance and sent thousands of soldiers. Hitler sent Franco his Condor Legion, which bombed Guernica. This bombardment became the subject of a famous painting by Pablo Picasso.

The most important of these skills, and also the main foundation of power, is the ability to control your feelings. Emotional reaction to a situation is the biggest obstacle to power, a mistake that will cost you far more than any temporary satisfaction you get from expressing feelings. Emotions do not show the true causes, and if you do not see the situation with all clarity, you will not be able to prepare for it and somehow control your own reaction to it.

Doing a good deed is like giving a person a pleasant and sincere gift. The reaction to this may vary. Someone will appreciate, treat the gift with love and joy, someone will shrug their shoulders indifferently, and someone will laugh and throw it in the trash. Do not be upset if this happens, and do not regret your kindness. The meaning of a gift is that it is given for free, without expecting to receive something in return. Thanks to your good deeds, the world becomes a little brighter and better, even if no one notices them.

In any case, our first concern will be whether we will suffer. If we had a choice, everyone would prefer a quiet and easy death. No one in their right mind wants to be burned alive.

This is not normal, BUT firstly, the norm almost does not exist, and secondly, excitement in your case is a defensive reaction. No matter how strange its manifestations may look.
