Defense mode keeps us safe. Sometimes we block out so much that we don't realize that what we're blocking has already gotten in. Anger, love, jealous, lust, etc. can ease through the tiniest crack of a well constructed wall.
For a moment, notice your reactions to certain situations. Our reactions or lack thereof can possibly indicate more about ourselves than we'd care to know. Emotions both good and bad can sometimes leave us asking, "Where did that come from"?

this is so true, usually the comments we make and the reactions we have surprise us because we are so used to holding things and blocking things that we are not consciously aware that they are there. I get you completely. I'm pretty good at convincing myself that something doesn't bother me when it does! When I catch myself doing this I try to dig deep and see what I find so I can sort it out and move forward.
