Not always.. it’s not black and white and we are all shaped by experiences and our perception of those experiences and how we have translated them into our present reality.

I like to go by the practice of recognizing how my mind / body reacts if I’m triggered by something, then ask myself why does this trigger me? Then where did that come from? How can I overcome this going forward? How can I quickly recognize this thought pattern or behavior going forward so I can heal it and transmute it?
