When you are offended?

One of my cyber-friend was much disturbed as someone had offended her. I sent her an email, the gist of which is as under:

The persons who offended you are not mean persons. But they are ignorant. Christianity teaches us wonderful way to overcome these types of situations.
You know when Lord Jesus was going to be crucified, he prayed to God to forgive those people who were crucifying him. And he gave the reason that those people were ignorant persons and cannot understand the situation and they deserve forgiveness. History tells us that those were prominent members of society having above average wisdom and literate enough (according to those days). Even then Lord Jesus treated them ignorant persons. Why?
Because there is difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is communicated to some person and his own PERCEPTION converts it to wisdom. The person concerned reacts according to wisdom acquired. The perception in each person is a God’s gift, it is different in every person and it is as per God’s will. People react to same kind of situation differently because of their different perception. If they could perceive same way they understand each other’s point of view, otherwise not. And if the person, with whom you are reacting, is unable to perceive your angle of view, he is not going to co-operate with you.
Lord Jesus surmised that people crucifying him were ignorant because they could not perceive correct angle of issue so they were forced to react in that pattern by their perception and thus deserve forgiveness.
If some person offends you, and you view the issue in above light, you will not blame that person but will treat his perception accountable for it; you will find him a suitable candidate for granting forgiveness. When we understand it, it is easier for us to forgive that person from our heart. We should pray God to grant him correct wisdom and should relieve our own heart from agony and discomfort.
Again this worldly life is temporary. One day we shall move to empire of God. Why to give over-importance to episodes of this dream-like-life and spoil our health?

The above email worked a lot. Now I share the same with you also.
