If you are offended by any word, YOU are simply giving people power over you. Whether someone is being an asshole or not, how you respond is your problem. Stop being retarded. You give words their power.

For example: "Gringo" has become a term of endearment in many parts of Central & South America because white expats simply didn't care. Imagine trying to insult someone & then having to explain that they should be insulted.

And identifying yourself as part of some oppressed or marginalized group is incredibily self defeating. If you believe that people are predispositioned to dislike you for some reason, you will not only behave in ways that make that true, but you will misinterpret all sorts of behavior from people which really has nothing to do with you. More often than not, believing is seeing, as opposed to the other way around.

You will find that the offended barely understand the meaning of most words. They are puppets.

Thank you for the zaps. It's hard to tell who has zapped but 4 people did and so I thank you for the love.

Regarding getting offended by words...

A good example is the word "inflation". It simply means that the supply of something has gone up. When you inflate a tire you add air to it. When you inflate an economy you add "money".

It's offensive to dullards because they don't see THEIR money increase only that the prices have gone up. Thus they believe it is greed (contraction of money supply) that causes prices to go up, not "easy money". They blame the people selling goods for prices increasing instead of the easy money suppliers who have favored other slaves over the dullards who don't need any more money because complaining is exactly what their masters want the dullards to do.

Solution offered. Meaning obfuscated. Good job everyone. Next distraction.

I don't know man, words are ok with me but being offended by people who are offended by words rings similarly. Just don't feed the trolls.

Being triggered by someone's words is a huge opportunity for growth.

It means that what they've said has agitated an already hurt part of yourself. They've sprinkled salt on a wound.

Explore it & be compassionate to the part of you that is scared or hurt. Observe that feeling in a state of neutrality until the feeling dissipates.

Yes. If words offend you, that's a you problem.

Words have immense power and should not be used lightly. Matthew 12:36 (NKJB) - “…for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.”
