“What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail” (Unknown)? No person can say or do anything without one taking it too personal and getting offended by it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and belief but that does not mean they have the one correct opinion. Everyone has a story or background about their life that few people know about.
