Butterfly - no one who truly shares their experience, strength, and hope will be offended when we honestly express our opinions in an open & polite manner.
In order to be offended someone has to pass judgement on the opinion-giver. In the offended person's mind they feel someone else's opinion is not 'correct' or it does not meet 'their standards'. As if somehow their own opinions are the 'superior' choice.
Hopefully through growth and understanding these people will someday attain the serenity & peace necessary to 'agree to disagree', become comfortable in their own skin by knowing they won't always be right, and learn to see the world from different angles.
There is a special place for them in my heart, as they remind me of how I used to be, and how far I have come.
Everybody keep coming back...!
