Stimulus

Instincts are inherent
react reflexively
Responses are learnt
appear thoughtfully

Anger flexes muscles
on unfulfilled desires
Calm ruminates on
cause of dissatisfaction

Fear and greed cause hate
all vulnerable impulses
Courage, contentment, love
arise from steady Self

Wisely should be chosen
the stimulus knowing
Its latent potential to
aggravate or exhilarate
