Choose not to be harmed \u2014 and you won\u2019t feel harmed. Don\u2019t feel harmed \u2014 and you haven\u2019t been.\u201d \n\u2014Marcus Aurelius\nHow 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\u2019s 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. \n\nIn all cases, when we are offended by something because of the thoughts we have about it and what we make it mean.
