Choose not to be harmed — and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed — and you haven’t been.”
—Marcus Aurelius
How often have you been offended by someone? Maybe it was something someone said to you? Maybe they made a comment about your clothes or mocked something that you really liked such as your favorite football team or musician. Maybe it’s one of your siblings who always tries to put you down or get under your skin. Maybe someone on the internet posted a mean comment to a picture you put on social media.

In all cases, when we are offended by something because of the thoughts we have about it and what we make it mean.
