If 95% of the time people don’t intend to hurt us, isn’t it worth questioning our own perceptions before reacting?

Could it be that the offense you feel is more about your emotional state than the actual actions of others?

In most cases, you cannot control how others will act or react towards you, but you can control your actions and reactions towards them and the irony is that this is the foundation of emotional maturity.

Those who have been deeply hurt often find themselves searching for the perfect partner, the perfect colleagues, the perfect neighborhood, the perfect church, the perfect pastor, and so on.

However, as long as we live in this human body, the perfection we seek will remain unattainable.

Hebrews 12:15
