21. Strange....
I just finished reading a passage in a book that states

"When you feel offended, you're practicing judgment. You judge someone else to be stupid, insensitive, rude, arrogant, inconsiderate, or foolish, and then you find yourself upset and offended by their conduct. What you may not realize is that when you judge another person, you do not define them. You define yourself as someone who needs to judge others."

I thought this was interesting. I don't remember the last time I got offended. It's easy to find things to be offended about i guess.
