Situations + Reactions = Life

Our life consists of various kinds of situations. I am a kind of Situation. You are another kind of situation. Our mind is a situation. Our body is another situation. Today is a situation. Tomorrow is another situation. Similarly, we are all living through various situations based on time, matter, people, things and varying conditions around us. Our reactions to these situations keep resulting in the emergence of newer and newer situations around us. 

This entire Universe is, in a way, a Universal Set of Evolving Situations. Our Lives are, so to say, bundles of Sets, Sub – Sets and Intersecting Sets of Situations and nothing else. So, under this situation, what is it that determines the quality of our Lives? Obviously, it’s nothing else but our Reactions to the Situations around us that make up our Lives. Naturally enough, most of the Situations that influence our Lives will never be under our direct control. But, can’t we have a control, over our Reactions to the same, at the least? Yes, we can and we need to. It’s here that the Equation provided above assumes much significance in our Lives.

Situations are Actions on the outside which incites Reactions from our insides. A SMART Management of Life involves adequate understanding of the various types of Situations and exercising SMART control over our overall Reactions.
