What is the harm in offending someone?
Everyone seems to be up-in-arms about language or actions that may offend a person or entity, but what is
the real damage being done? I was taught
that “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”…did I
miss something? Do I have the saying backwards?
It is true that words can be powerful, and if said with the right cadence,
timing and to the right audience, can illuminate the mind and call the body to
action. But have our minds as a collective become so weak that any word or
phrase can illicit such a hub-bub?
Today we do not strive to answer the question in what is the offense in
offending, we simply pose the question for your consideration.
