Just because someone accuses you of something, doesn't mean it is so.
...but before we go with that too quickly, we likely also need to acknowledge it doesn't mean it isn't so either.
We do seem to live in an age where offending someone is taboo and when we are accused of something we might start from the default that it is true and that we shouldn't have done it. But it takes some thought, some consideration, some evaluation, and some conversation to determine the truth of something. I'm afraid the ease of our lives has softened the muscles of the analysis and consideration that is needed to engage meaningfully with ourselves and others.
