There's an old saying, "If you're nice to me, then I'll be nice to you." I've never heard a statement that is more detrimental to your soul than that. Why? Because that means every single person in the world is in control of you.
You'd be a puppet, your strings being pulled by complete strangers because you're not man enough to be in control of your own emotions.
This attitude is a gateway emotion to even more detrimental ideas. Shoot, next you'll start being offended by all sorts of nonsense.
This isn't about politics, it's about you being in control of you. It's about being the bigger man. It's about taking responsibility for your actions and taking your thoughts, and your tongue, captive. It's about doing the right thing, not because they deserve it, but because you do.
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5
