There’s always a “give and take” when dealing with people. Rather than just reacting, being “triggered” by a,(perceived), “insult", I recognized that he was inquiring out of a genuine concern for my well-being. If had a knee-jerk reaction to a perceived insult, hard feelings would have been the result. As it happened, I quieted my mind and just listened, giving him the benefit of the doubt, some understanding, and a beautiful, if minor, moment occurred.
