“So your offended and oppressed?”

"To stand up straight with your shoulders back is to accept the terrible responsibility of life, with eyes wide open." - Jordan Peterson

In this life, we each have a profound responsibility to regulate our own emotions, especially when it comes to sensitive and offensive topics. Whether it’s racism or any other divisive subject, the way we respond and manage our feelings is entirely up to us. We must recognize that our emotions are our own responsibility, and it’s our duty to handle them with maturity and self-control.

In our diverse world, we are bound to encounter opinions that challenge and upset us. But rather than reacting impulsively or becoming consumed by anger, we have the power to choose a more balanced and thoughtful response. We must strive to maintain respect for others’ perspectives, even if we vehemently disagree with them. It is through open dialogue and understanding that progress can be made.

It’s important to remember that we are not oppressed by someone else’s words or beliefs. We are only affected by them if we allow ourselves to be. By recognizing our own agency in managing our emotions, we can rise above the negativity and choose a path of growth and understanding.

In this journey, we must allow all voices to be heard, even those we find offensive. We can engage in constructive discussions, challenge harmful ideas, and promote positive change. The truth will always prevail, and by remaining grounded in our own values and principles, we can contribute to a more enlightened and compassionate world.
