Most people in our society are simply unconscious. They react to everything based on their own conditioning. Social conditioning is nothing but programming that was instilled in them from a very young age. Triggers are an example of that.
A computer is not conscious and only runs on its operating system and programming. Programming contains conditional statements that direct the computer. If A happens, then the computer reacts with B as programmed.
Social conditioning in a sense, works the same way. We accept what we are taught in schools, we don't question everything, we automatically judge people who don't follow the societal norm, etc.
A crucial step on one's spiritual path is becoming aware of that conditioning. This is when we start questioning everything and choosing our own independent path that is lead by our own hearts.
The norm is not what ego-based society dictates. The norm is living in accordance to spiritual laws that include understanding of oneness with everything, unconditional love, compassion, acceptance, forgiveness, etc.
By becoming aware of our own conditioning we can replace unconscious ego-based reactions with conscious, love based response in all situations. It takes time to reprogram our minds though. It's something that we need to work on daily basis. It is the path to spiritual mastery.
