We all have an innate tendency to React when stimulated by an attack.
React means that an action against us is met immediately with action against the attacker.
Sometimes it is good to React such as when there is clear and present danger.
Most of the time it is bad to React. The reason is that the 'attack' may not have been intentional and reaction may be unjustified or 'over' reacting.
Wisdom is necessary in order to know when to React and when to Consider before taking action.
Wisdom comes from God and He gives it liberally to those who ask. Jam 1:5
