Someone is offended that a patriot wears a flag pin
While another is offended that some believe gay is a sin

Some are offended that they didn't get the promotion to boss
And yet others are offended over the wearing of a cross

Some may be offended over a show about pregnant teens
while others are offended you don't like Charlie sheen

This list could go on for days and days
Because "I'm offended" it seems is very popular to say

The truth is someone is always going to be offended
But often that is not what the person intended

The perceived victims are often very loud
And they are masters of rallying a crowd

They focus on changing the behavior of everyone else
Instead of focusing on changing themselves

Many people will cower and fold
It is what is right, or so they are told

But let's take an imaginary journey shall we?

There was a businessman dressed in Coat and plaid Tie
While walking he runs across a farmer, who says he's offended over the man’s tie...
"Plaid should be for those that work the land" "I'm sorry" he quickly replies and promptly removes his tie

As he continues on his way he meets a woman with no arms, who is offended that his coat has sleeves
Again he replies "I’m sorry, I didn't know" so he promptly rips off his sleeves and continues on his way

While continuing his journey he meets another businessman along the way, he expresses his offense over the mans
Shredded coat and shirt, so the business man again apologizes and removes remainder of his coat and shirt
And once again continues his walk,

he runs across a man with no feet who is offended he is wearing shoes, So yet again he removes his shoes,

this pattern continues until the man is walking around completely naked and now Every person he sees is offended that he would dare to walk around in such a state,

he doesn't seem to understand He tried not to offend anyone only to result in offending everyone!

The moral of the story is, if you try to please everyone you will end up pleasing no one, stand by your beliefs,
Don't insult people directly, but if it is a perceived offense, it is not your job to change their perceptions, it is their
Job to change their own perception.

The only thing you can do is change yourself, but remember only change yourself if it is Something YOU want to change about yourself,

NEVER change yourself because someone ELSE told you too, for if you change for everyone else, you will lose who you truly are.

Case in point, if you saw a man walking around naked would you know he was a businessman?
