Taking Offence.

I’m fortunate in being very difficult to offend. The way I generally see it is this:

As long as I’m comfortable with myself – and that includes being comfortable with my faults – what does it matter what anybody else thinks? If somebody ‘insults’ me, then one of two facts apply. Either they’re right, in which case why should I be offended? Or they’re wrong, in which case that’s their problem not mine.

Leaning towards extroversion does, however, slightly complicate the matter. Work it out if you want to. The resurgence of my old back injury has been troubling me all day, and I’m tired.

Someday I hope I'll be like this too. Not there yet...

Neither am I, completely. But almost.
