To be offended is a choice we make; it is not a condition in

Summary

This quote suggests that being offended is not something that is forced upon us by external factors but rather a decision we consciously make. It implies that we have the power to choose how we react to certain situations or remarks and that we have the ability to not allow ourselves to be affected by them. Consequently, it suggests that our level of offense is determined by our own perspective and response, rather than being an objective or involuntary response.
