Being Offended Is a Choice We Make
---------------------------------------------------
"Certainly clumsy, embarrassing, unprincipled, and mean spirited
things do occur in our interactions with other people that would allow us
to take offense. However, it ultimately is impossible for another person to
offend you or to offend me. Indeed, believing that another person offended
us is fundamentally false. To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a
condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something
else."

Laura who? i completely agree with this statement. and it feels better too - to be in control of how one reacts to another.
Amen! Hey thanks for posting just for me! I feel so special...you made my day! I actually have always referenced that quote when I think or start to feel offended. I'm glad you shared it! It's totally our perspective and our choice if we choose to feel offended. Thanks again! Can't wait to see all the homecoming pics!
Where do you get all these amazing quotes???
So true, so true.
