Everything we do is a choice. Unless someone is blackmailing us, using extortion against us, or coercing us by force, we alone are responsible for the choices we make.
Someone will say "but you don't know what he did to me...he left me no choice!". Nope, wrong answer. We always have a choice.
"But she knows that I get upset when she does such & such. I had no choice but to show her that she can't get away with that". Again, we always have a choice.
"This person hurt my family member!" --- once again, we have a choice in how we respond.
"Yeah, but that person cut me off in traffic & nearly caused an accident" -- I can relate to this one...& yes, I have the choice in how I will respond.
