I read a thing that made me think so much that I wanted to write it down so I might be able to read it later.
I read some words that someone had written and they were objectionable and crude words and a few moments later as I thought about it I was upset that I was not offended.
I feel the same way about movies and music that ought to disgust me, but I excuse it because of other merits. I start to think I have somehow become desensitized or "past feeling". Then I realized that I am wholey and honestly offended by what those things represent. It's like I am offended when someone uses words to hurt it doesn't matter really the words, but the intent that offends me. I am offended when people intend to offend me, not because of the boldness of their manner but that they wanted to offend me.
