text: Big brother, our tired government is also made up of these lot. The sport of taking offense is rather pervasive here that people are more efficient at it than at their jobs. This human condition is not so fun to experience but an entertainment to observe from a distance.
  When I was a kid, I learnt quickly that when a parent took offense at my behavior, I had to find a way to moderate myself, tame my childish nonsense. Their taking offense conditioned me, alright. I knew the right buttons to press to get the reaction I wanted and taught myself to limit the offense-inducing antics which was hard to master.
  Later in life, I blamed the same parents for being constricting, for not letting me just be me. What wisdom did I finally unearth, you might wonder.
