Can we attach a value to the way we react to someone?

Sometimes when we react to something, it's something that's done entirely out of reflex, or instinct. A friend once told me, a long time ago, that the way we react to someone actually shows how much they mean to us. If you care for someone, you will react one way, and if you don't really care, then you react another.

It's like, you hear someone talking bad about you. If you care for that person and genuinely treats her as a friend, you'll feel hurt, and question why she did that, and you'll keep on pondering what happened to make her say the things she did. But if you couldn't care less, then you'll just let it slip by and don't be bothered with it.

I know it's not a good example and it's not reflective of many things, but that's the best I can come up with at 3 in the morning lah.. -.-"

I think this is true, to a certain extent. Because different circumstances will give rise to different situations. But lets say this statement is true for the duration of this post.

Today, I reacted. And I was surprised. I didn't think I would react the way I did. Because I don't think the thing that was said needed a big reaction as such. And now I'm confused. Why did I react the way I did? Could it be it has become more than I thought it was? Which is a little absurd considering the circumstances. But what was said garnered a big reaction from me, and it could only mean two things. Either it is good, or it is bad.

I'm thinking it could lean ALOT into the bad side, based on what little data I have on hand.

BUT, God doesn't give us more than what we can handle. And I will take it in stride and see where this new discovery takes me.
