The way we interact with people around us or our reaction to the situations we confront in our day-to-day lives are based more on our experience and our interpretation of those experiences, rather than what we have been taught or told about by others!

Yes, this is true...with a interesting twist...we often shape our experiences by our thinking...so it's a two way street. They seem to go hand-in-hand...one shaping or influencing the other. We often process our information through or within our experiences...but our perception of the experience seems to influence the circumstances.

yes to how you phrased it. but not at all true if you practice your mind to respond or proact as some military disciplines train you. it is similar to brain washing lol only we dont pass out flowers or tracts ;o) im pikn. you thoroughly go thru your past and analyze your actions more so "why" you responded as you did.
why you choose to do or not is more revealing of who we are.
continue visualizing them as you would want to do. keeping in mind youre an individual living in the now. now taking in all events you may get into and your experiences and eduacation both formal and life learned. you will do whats best, in the situation and decisions you make. whats best overall is always best for you.

I agree with you. I think we can learn from experiences and being taught but experience has a stronger affect.

Yes. Listen carefully. Respond appropriately and intelligently. Use compassion. Avoid reacting immediately, think, think, think before responding.
