To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a condition inflicted or imposed upon us by someone or something else.”
“When we believe our own lies, we deceive ourselves into thinking they are truth. But truth is not what we create, it's what we discover. Let us seek the truth that sets us free, not the lies that bind us.”
