Do you find being offensive, offensive?

Go to many social media feeds and it'll be there.

Here's the thing, you can't stop it.


 
If I say something on here and you're offended, then I have no control over what you may think and say.


 
So, stop being offended...it is easier than you think.


 
When you see or read or hear something, instead of answering verbally or in writing immediately, stop and ask yourself one question.


 
' I wonder how they came to make that comment ?'


 
It gives your rational part of your brain time to process it and quieten down the irrational part of your brain, that generally controls your reactions, good or otherwise.


 
So my offer is that when anything offends you, take the 'safe road crossing test' to it.

Stop, Look, Listen oh and think.
