What ACTUALLY Happens When You're Offended? Nothing! 🤷‍♂️💭

A famous comedian (possibly Stephen Fry) once said something along the lines of: "Oh, you're offended? What happens when you're offended? Does your head fall off? Does your heart stop working?"

The answer? Nothing happens! You feel a bit bad for a moment, then you scroll on and it's gone.

But people have decided to "jump onto this fear and hold onto it" - turning brief discomfort into "the worst thing ever" and amplifying it endlessly.

"Words are violence?" Really? Call me a name and I'll be slightly upset. Hit me in the face and I'll be MUCH more upset - there's a massive difference!

Try telling soldiers from any war in the last 150 years that "words are a weapon" and see what they think.
