It's a really neat trick if you can do that.. Sounds pretty wise as really it's down to our own perceptions and how we take whatever has been said.. we don't have to react!
It takes a conscious effort sometimes, but most of the time I can get to that point. I also consider from whom the supposedly offensive statement came.
Most people don't have the ability to hurt me.. I am pretty tough on the outside.. Only those I actually care about have the ability to hurt me... and yes they can.. I guess that should be how it is... if we can't be hurt, then maybe that's because we can't care.. I wouldn't want that.
