Most people when faced with a difficult situation immediately react. And in 3/4th cases, the reactions are nothing but damaging. This is to explain the scenario in worldly terms, but there is a deeper spiritual side to it, and it involves something more serious. It involves Karma. By reacting, to any given situation we are creating Karma. Good or bad, based on our reactions. To not react as per emotions, or to be precise, to not react as per negative emotions, is one of the hardest lessons for one to learn in the spiritual path. Given any explosive nature, it would be nearly impossible. But this would be the test of mettle of a genuine spiritual aspirant. If it is passed, then the wisdom of such a non- reaction would dawn on her/him.
A true spiritual aspirant doesn't react from her/his lower emotions. In extreme cases any reaction to save oneself by hitting at the other with disregard to the harm caused to the other would be to her/his undoing. Karma is created. If the reaction is damaging, then repercussions are going to be in same lines, not just for the opponent but for oneself in the long run. Karma, reacts at its chosen time.
I have had to learn hard lessons from 'Life' my Teacher! Me being the difficult student had taken a long time to take the point into head. But... there is one advantage to learning the hard way... the lessons learnt are very strong! I believe, I shall carry them with me for incarnations to come. I have also realized that to act in the best possible interests for all concerned would not only save others, but oneself! That is the magic of Karma :) Needless to say the act of everyone benefiting amplifies the joy more. The taste of the happiness is of a higher kind. When Master Choa Kok Sui said "When a situation is beyond your control, just be calm" it is with great wisdom to it.

It is quite possible! albeit with a lot of effort from oneself, to not jump over the mountain or dive deep into the ocean! for a given situation or say a disturbing situation. By being calm and working out a solution to see positiveness, for all concerned in show of universal love would be quite beneficial to oneself and take the spiritual aspirant one step forward in the beauty of evolution of the Self.
It is a hard target, but the gift of wisdom attained after such 'tenacity' is immeasurable. A spiritual aspirant thus adds one more feather to his cap of spiritual wisdom, that shall remain with him for many incarnations to come. Of course, there are a lot more accomplishments to be done. But achieving one good spiritual wisdom after another, is adding one more feather to her/his wings to finally lift and fly high where he/she really wants to go... up above.
