Chances are good that after an examination he or she would give you a prescription with instructions to return in several days. When you walk back in if the doctor starts shaking his head and says, "It looks like your body is reacting to the medicine, we're going to have to change it," you probably would get a little nervous. However, if the doctor smiled and said, "You're looking great! Your body is responding to the medication," you would get excited and feel much better. Yes, responding to life is good. Reacting to the incidents of life is negative - and that's bad. The next example validates that fact.

There were probably 20 guys hanging around the edges of this very small boat. No one is paid for their services – they all fish and keep track of their catch. Typically, they pay the captain and owner of the boat 2 pounds of fish per day for the privilege of fishing from his boat.
