BE EASILY OFFENDED
It's foolish to take offense when none is intended.
It's even more foolish to take offense if it is intended.
Miserable people take offense. If you say something, it offends them. If you don't say something, it offends them. They're mad when someone tries to help, and they're mad when someone doesn't. They're even offended when someone is trying to make amends! They're offended if someone apologizes too late, too quickly, or not enough. The happiest people in the world refuse to be offended by everyone and everything. That's just too much work. They forgive quickly because they know they need forgiveness from others.
As the saying goes---
We should be too big to take offense, and too noble to give it!!
Abraham Lincoln
