Page 5 of the "BUDDHISM BASICS" explains that controlling our thinking is controlling our responses.

Buddha Zhen reads quotes from the Original Buddha Shakyamuni. Buddha explains that "emotions interfere with your intellect."  

Shakyamuni Buddha is challenged before entering a town.  "You are right to have doubts... don't be fooled by clever logic... when you know that any teachings... when used in your life are not profitable you should reject them."

What you share is what you have.  What you have is what you accept into your life.  What are you accepting?  Look at what you share.
