Being offended is not inevitable
Grace takes a firm stand, not against individuals, but against angry emotions.
We live on a planet populated by several billion people, and at least one of those individuals is undoubtedly going to do or say something that could offend us big-time.
Could offend, not will. Being offended is not inevitable. A person can’t “push our buttons” and force us to spend time seething angrily inside if we don’t make a “hot button” available for pushing. How is this possible, though—to not be offended?
