We Are Getting Too Thin-Skinned

It's quite easy to offend someone these days. 

In the age of social media, we get bombarded with crude language, opinions we don't like, and stuff that's downright mean. That's probably why we see an increase in language policing and censorship. To some extent, this can be a good thing, for example, to protect minors. 

But when it's getting too far we can ask ourselves: aren't we getting too thin-skinned?

From a Stoic point of view, we're not offended by what we deem offensive, but by our choice to be offended.
