I’d really have to think about this one, and perhaps read it in context: “I’m not sure there’s a braver sentence in the human catalog of brave sentences than ‘My feelings are hurt.’ It’s simple, vulnerable, and honest. But we don’t say it very often.” I’ve known people to use this as a constant excuse to take offense at any little thing said to or done to them (from their near paranoic perspective). I have witnessed this especially in my family–this kind of hypersensitivity over what is perceived to be the least little slight, as an excuse for misunderstanding, unwillingness to talk openly and correct any real offense, judgementalism and slander. Sometimes I think the only offense I want to understand (beyond something I truly have done that deserves my apology, whether I intended it or not), is that which was leveled at Christ, and then to consider how He reacted. Again, though, I’ve not read the book. Love mapping, and this will be an interesting read. Thanks, Miss Lisa!
