More suffering comes into the world by people taking offense then by people intending to give offense. -- Ken Keyes as quoted in "Falling Upward" by Fr. Richard Rohr, at p 7.
It is not to respond in kind to my dear friend Gertrude, who has offended me (as in, hurt my feelings), it is to bless the offense I see...remembering that my hurt begins, always, in: I See Me.
Hug it and kiss it and let it go.
Thank You.
