How you "react" will decide the outcome

If you let someone provoke you to "react" in a negative way then the outcome for you will be negative. If you let them behave in a negative way without "reacting" then your positive "reaction" to "not react" will bring you a positive outcome. You will reap what you sow and a negative "reaction" can bring you nothing but negativity. How they "react" will bring them what they have sown. The circumstances that they put you in you can't choose but you can choose how you "react" and choosing to do nothing is still a choice you can make that will determine the outcome for you.
