Although it can seem that we react to others or external forces, we only ever react to how we choose to interpret what we experience.
In other words, we only ever react to ourselves.

@JefferyBezos Except that we choose how to interpret, even if we don't recognize it's a choice. We sort of choose how to react to our own choices.
Someone could choose to see our choice of interpreting as a reaction 😉
It's more trying to make sense of things, to understand.
We're talking about two portions of a single thought, and for a thought to fully form it can take many cycles of interpreting and reacting to what we interpret so far, each a portion of previous interpretations...of reacting to ourselves.
