Sometimes, I get offended.
But, whenever I write something on this blog I try to speak about things that happen, as far as I can tell, to more than a single person.
So, if X does something that gets me upset, I’ll generally avoid writing about that thing.
But, if there is a generally bad thing (a company doing poor things to lots of people; a bad thing in the society), I will consider writing about this.
Why the difference?
- If I’m the one being offended, I am allowed to forgive that bad thing. It’s OK.
- If there is more than one party offended, it’s just for me to take action.
