being offended is a way of life for plenty of folks these days.
it's a way of life, an M.O., the way they roll, and, worst of all, a right.
(and you know how people looooooove their rights.)
it's a full-time job for jesse jackson.
and........ for me. if people would stop being offended, i'd be out of a job.
being offended is so ubiquitous, so pervasive, so like breathing, that we never even stop to think if it makes any sense. much less if it's the right thing to do.
but it's neither one.
it. is. neither. one.
being offended stops love in its tracks. because it is selfish. it makes zero allowance for anything other than the offended. as if thee offended is thee most important thing on earth.
as if Christ coming down here and imploring us to for. give just frickin' never happened.
