Recently we have had a lot of talk about offending others in the rain and I do my best to not offend others. I don't get in to political or religious debates, but time to time, I do get stuck in the middle of a debate about a real estate issue and sometimes that is unavoidable.
But, this time my offending blog wasn't about real estate, politics or religion. It was about happy cows. Now personally, I thought this blog was funny and so did others that featured it within their groups. It was a joke but, apparently, it has offended a born again vegetarian.
Here is a copy of the e-mail from the person minus their name to protect them.
Now, I feel a lot of the problem with America these days is that people feel their opinion is the only one. You see everyone has an opinion and a way of life and I don't think you should try to push your way of life on others. If it bothers you, look the other way and just go about your day. I have some great friends here in the rain and I do know one of them is a vegetarian and I would never try to force her to eat meat. But I'm hoping she would never try to force me to become a vegetarian either. You see it is just a different lifestyle, but I don't think any less of her for it.
You see, I eat meat and always will and I made a joke about a cow. It was funny, in my opinion, and if I offended someone because I eat meat and made a joke about a cow, then I'm sorry. But, that is my way of life and I plan to continue to live my life that way. I promise not to be offended by the way you live your life and your opinion, so please try not to be offended by mine. Relax. Life is too short to be offended by every little thing. If something bothers you, look the other way.
