If you take offense at someone’s manner or words (“Oh, he was so rude to me”) just consider the possibility that he is not being rude.
He’s being real. It’s your sensitivity that is the problem, not the way in which the message is delivered.
Kindness and thoughtfulness are virtues. Truthfulness. That’s your side of the street.
The people on the other side of the street? The ones who take offense, especially those who take offense on behalf of others? Fuck ‘em. They are lost and it’s not your job to change them—unless they prove to be Seekers.
It’s not in your power to change someone, in any event. Just do what is within your control.
And you know how to filter the Seekers from the Aimless. They reveal themselves.
