There’s a push to make people ashamed of being offended by anything, as if it reflects on how delicate you are, as opposed to just having a sense of right and wrong. That’s the only way you wouldn’t be offended by things — if you had no sense of right and wrong.

“Someone who offends you hasn’t ‘got’ you or ‘won’. What they said, and why, matters. They don’t get a free pass on being scrutinized on any of that just because they got a certain reaction.”

I like the metaphor of stepping on someone’s foot. When someone says, “You stepped on my foot!” you don’t tell them to buck up and deal with it. You don’t tell them to stop making you feel guilty for accidentally hurting them. You don’t try to tell them that it shouldn’t hurt because you didn’t mean to step on their foot.

You apologize and you try not to do it again.

The end.
