If you shake (agitate) a bottle of coke, pressure starts to build up, and eventually it will”explode”. The surroundings affect the coke bottle, eventually causing a mess.
If you shake (agitate) a bottle of water, it remains as it is. There will be no fizzing, and it remains calm and unaffected. The surroundings will not affect the water.
Let us strive to be like the water! When people around us, or circumstances around us are negative, we can choose to not be affected. We make all the choices for our own behavior. We can choose to be reactive (angry) and react impulsively, OR we can choose to be proactive (calm) and react in a manner that would be beneficial to us.
