offence

The worst ever offence you can commit against your time is to think that __ime spent making plans is time being wasted!_ Leaders don__ think that way!

A person's true character lies somewhere until after you might have pressed the wrong button without knowing, then you'll realize that there are dogs in human form.

It is gracious to overlook and offence.

To become a better you, take note of what gets you offended quickly and never go there or let it come to you.

I mean that repeated offences, even when they secure forgiveness, drive out love. And from that I came to say that one may compel obedience but never love.

Like some of the rest of us, she never reflected how balefully her evil mood might operate; and that all things work for good in the end, will not cover those by whom come the offenses. Another night's rest, it is true, sent the evil mood to sleep again for a time, but did not exorcise it; for there are demons that go not out without prayer, and a bad temper is one of them--a demon as contemptible, mean-spirited, and unjust, as any in the peerage of hell--much petted, nevertheless, and excused, by us poor lunatics who are possessed by him.

I think there's a difference between (a) offending people for its own sake, which I don't necessarily want to do, because some people are good and decent and it would be unkind to upset them simply to indulge my own self-importance, and (b) challenging their prejudices, their preconceptions, or their comfortable assumptions. I'm very happy to do that. But we need to be on our guard when people say they're offended. No one actually has the right to go through life without being offended. Some people think they can say "such-and-such offends me" and that will stop the "offensive" words or behaviour and force the "offender" to apologise. I'm very much against that tactic. No one should be able to shut down discussion by making their feelings more important than the search for truth. If such people are offended, they should put up with it.

Know the other person__ viewpoint first and then talk. To Talk after comparing it or mixing it with our viewpoint is an offence.

To know if someone can speak offensively or politely, don__ give him poem to recite; don__ give him a song to sing. Just engage him in an argument and you will know it for yourself who he is.

It is impossible to be truly artistic without the risk of offending someone somewhere.

It__ our version of a black hole. Just like amply compact mass can distort space and time to cause a black hole, a sufficiently dense breach of discipline in our office causes a black hole that sucks the offender away for eternity, never to spit back!

Anger gets you into trouble, ego keeps you in trouble.

Let us not take offence over small cheese, let things slide off when they don__ really matter, not take things personally, be free to make better use of our energy, to get on with something meaningful instead.

To show resentment at a reproach is to acknowledge that one may have deserved it.
