I am not one to intentionally offend. Quite the opposite, I think that other people’s feelings and well being do have a huge effect on what I actually say and do. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, or a good thing for that matter.
However, let it be know that if I feel compelled to say something that I feel is important and that something may be confrontational or may cause someone to be hurt, I will say it. It is important for me that I stay true to myself.
What you need to know, is that I am fallible, what I say is my opinion and I have the inalienable right to share it how and when I choose. You are free to question critic or criticize. In actuality, if you convince me I am mistaken or should view things differently, I am open to change also.
I think we grow and learn from others, people influence me regularly. On that same token, I will never have that effect on anyone if I keep my mouth shut because I might offend.
