The saying is You can please some of the people almost all of the time. You can please some of the people almost none of the time. But you can't please everybody at the same time.

I like your saying, Subatomic.
Truth is most loved and most hated thing, at the same time with same individual. What make difference is whether an individual heard it or not heard it.

Being offended is not a positive human reaction. Complaining about what people say and do is like complaining about the heat of the sun - you can complain, but don't think you are stronger than those who don't mind the sun's heat or the heat of people's honesty.

What would be an alternative to complaint when humans feel offended? I like the sun/heat use here.Subatomic God wrote:
