Good points! But why is that we can discuss it here, but then can't apply it in real life when it matters most?

An excellent question! I wish I had the answer. Truly, I think fear has a lot to do with it. We all build up walls and when the possibility arises that we just might have to break one of them down, it gets scary.

You are right, we get conditioned to accept certain behaviors and responses and then act as if they are always present. Too bad. Its tough not to do it, we are human and react as such.
