..just a thought.

[Marksman45]

This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately, and I think it is worth sharing.

When someone takes a swing at you, it is not automatic that you are struck. You can dodge or block. Provided that you are properly focused, you can dodge or block every swing.

The same thing applies to words. You can only be insulted or offended <i>if you allow yourself to be</i>. If someone tries, simply <i>don't be offended</i>. Dodge the words. And retaliation is pointless, for if you are properly focused you can dodge every word and never receive injury, thus any source of the words is not a threat and needn't be retaliated against.

So, thought shared. That's all.

mars,
you have a great grasp on one of the most sterling principles of pure Christianity.

Offense is something that can't be given, it can only be taken. When I understood this, my life became much easier. I'm glad you figured it out at a younger age than I did.
