Not To Be Easily Offended


"Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense." Proverbs 19:11
Every action and reaction of a person, every words and deeds is the sum result of his or her total life experience. 
 
Mostly every time we get offended, it is actually just a misunderstanding. It is not personal. The conversation and dealings of majorities of people originates from their own conclusions, aspirations, survival, fears, and defenses. Most of it, even when aimed directly at us, has nothing to do with us. We are all sailing in the reflections and personal expressions of each other's life experiences. For our own peace of mind, when a person talks, accept it in a positive way -they meant well but sometimes incorrect choice of words. We should need to understand the situation and move on.
Since we know it is not about us, we should not be affected by what other people speak or act. Actually, it is for our own glory, our own advantage, and peace of mind not to be distressed by it.
