"Do not get offended": Why not to get offended by a child's behavior or dress

 One of the tenets of my Christian faith involves non-entitlement. What does this mean, in the eyes of a divine courtroom? I am not to get easily offended by every other microaggression out there against them. This is what a peacekeeper is, by the conservative definition. Way too many parents out there think they are entitled to everything from their child, including respect, without working for it. All adults in the United States are peacekeepers, to varying degrees, around children.

It says in Mathew 5:38-39 KJV:

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

This commandment refers to the anti-entitlement offense that is entitlement by way of chronic adversarial attitudes, meaning inability to forgive grudges, meaning vexatious litigant, meaning peacekeeper. Every believer is his own courtroom, and in the case of turning the other cheek, that means forgiving the vast number of infractions and personal slights committed against me, brushing off the slate, so to speak. This is how parents should deal with their children.

Is it repressing all public anger? No. It is the concept of pro-social avoidance of reaction, meaning when something in the news, or in an advertisement, or on a website you see online. It is avoiding what offends you, to the greatest degree possible, instead of telling others to, perhaps, take down posts, comments, and so forth that they post on their own page.

Ultimately, as a parent, it refers to living by the children's rights code, meaning avoidance of entitlement leading to theft/abuse. The Greek root word denoting entitlement, and repeating the Tenth Commandment, is πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers to not just wanting things from a child, but wanting things to the point of imposing said item onto a child, namely butthurt and offended feelings when they don't do what you want them to do, like the little robots you think they are. The Greek root word translated "theft" is κλεπτω and refers to abuse, meaning any personal slights that the child perceives from his/her parents, namely physical and psychological pain/anguish, as well as fornication, to the level of din perceived by the child. "Din" here means what gets the child's "hackle up" and makes them fearful of adults, stemming from a child's act or failure to act which is perceived as child abuse.

The child is allowed to get offended all she wants, and the adult must shut up, quieten, and serve their child's needs, expecting nothing in return. I am not allowed to be offended by a child's behavior or attitudes. Simply reason instead/ God's Codified Law. Love children, and expect nothing back.
