I agree that our responses are definately our responsibility and that mindfulness involves more than awareness of " what " we are experiencing. The tendency to believe that if we try hard enough, communicate and change ourselves enough to accomadate those around us then we can keep things as they are and this is a good outcome is not always the best way forward - wisdom is often gained in hindsight and this may not be that hepful.
