One Christmas, at Mom's house, I walked by the Christmas tree, and--MEOOWRAAWR--her monster of a cat jumps out from under the tree and claws my foot! At this point, the reflex is to kick the cat, out of self-defense instinct.
TIMEOUT!
if i kick the cat, the cat will hate me, it will be a problem in the future as he feels defensive, and my poor mother will expel me from the house. So i swallowed my reflex, put neosporin and slippers on, then nicely petted the darn cat.
My personal relationships sure got a lot better after realizing this.
