New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

and loyal friend, it stands to reason that you are not going to be neglected or ill used, by those whose friendship you value.

"Be not easily offended." You can help to sweeten the world for yourself and others if you live true to this motto.

Put it into practice, first of all, where every great virtue and accomplishment should be practised --- in the home.

As a wife, a daughter, a sister, a mother, "be not easily offended."

The touchy woman can destroy an Eden almost as easily as can the serpent.

There is usually a lamentable lack of a sense of humor in a woman who is easily offended. She takes every least act, every look and every failure to speak or look as a serious intent on the part of somebody to “wound her feelings."

How she suffers, poor thing! Yet how she makes others suffer by her silly self-consciousness and her eternal sensitiveness.

She will tell you that because she gives so much and is so unselfish she suffers more keenly through the lack of others to return in like measure.

But this is not true of love. The really loving nature is so occupied with the giving, that it does not find time to be offended over small neglects.

The royally loving nature is not "touchy." It is not suspicious. It is not easily offended.

It is cheerful, it is generous, it is optimistic, it is amiable.

And these are qualities which help women to build earthly heavens, and to keep husband, children, friends true, loyal and admiring.

"Be not easily offended."
