Post: Magnanimous isn't a word we hear often these days. It's a big one, but worth knowing and teaching to kids. When children have done something wrong, good parents always make them say they're sorry. But what about the opposite, what happens when they're wronged? We see that our society has become very intolerant of people even while preaching tolerance. Do I need to list the number of celebrities or TV personalities who have fallen from grace? Simply saying the wrong thing can be career ending and life ruining for people who never meant to offend. It seems everyone's quick to condemn, but slow to forgive. This is exactly backwards. We should withhold our judgement and be magnanimous in our response when we have been wronged. Why are we so easily offended? Perhaps it's a question we should ask ourselves.
