In this episode, I talk about why words are not violence, and why being offended should not give us permission to lose control of ourselves. After seeing people react violently to things said online, protests, opinions, and disagreements, I wanted to dig into what it says about us when someone else’s words can pull us so far out of character. This episode is about emotional discipline, personal responsibility, ego, judgment, hypocrisy, faith, and learning how to respond with self-control instead of reacting out of anger. I also talk about why hurt people hurt people, why we need to check ourselves before condemning others, and why true empathy means trying to understand people instead of instantly dehumanizing them. Someone else’s words might offend you, but they should not control you. If you liked the show, help it grow! Leave a review and rate 5 stars on Apple Podcast, and Spotify! <3 Reach out on Instagram:@RisenFallen Check out my website:www.risenfallen.com
