No Offense

Okay. I'm going to be incredibly uncharitable for a moment.

Does anyone else get sick of those people who are so easily offended by everything and everyone all the time?

We're not in Jr. High, people. But here are these full-grown adults acting like 12-year-olds. They either:

1) Refuse to talk to you but tell everyone else that they're mad at you--or that you're mad at them

2) Act like everything's great to your face but hold in all of this resentment till the moment's right to blow it up in your face and bring up all of the things you've ever done to offend them or

3) Just drop little hints of the fact that they're offended for you to pick up and act on, if you will.

Do any of those things sound like something 40-50-year-olds should be doing?

The funny thing is that these people are also usually the ones who are so willing to share their (sometimes entirely offensive) opinions on everything.

It kind of makes me want to print off several copies of this talk by Elder Bednar and hand it out like candy.
