The Lesson of The Offended Offender

A Poem About Unexpected Knowledge

I do not get offended.

Every interaction is an opportunity

to affirm who you are.

✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴

When the world becomes your classroom,

everyone becomes both

teacher and student.

✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴

Thus, you are either affirming

the truth you speak or

revealing the fallacy you hide.

✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴✴

Both are valuable.

Both teach a lesson to the pupil

free of unwarranted expectations.
