While going through my emails late morning yesterday, I realized I was sitting far too long. I needed to get moving. Telling myself I would come back to an interesting Time article later, from it I took react to use as my Wordle word. To my surprise, react turned to think and think gave me a score of 2. Wow!
Going back to the article in the evening, I read about reacting versus responding. When we react, we have two actions, one to start and the other to continue. When we stop and think, we respond, lowering the chance of conflict. Another wow. And while the article was as much on technology and its problems - teaching us to react rather than think - the one paragraph was what mattered most to me.
The world needs less reacting, more thinking and in doing so, will have less conflict and more compromise and resolution. It'll be a win win for us all.
To Think
