And maybe some people go around looking to be offended by those they do not like regardless if offense is even intended. Yet some more mature in the faith are able to rise above imagined slights and get to the heart of matters, you know, the things that really matter for eternity?

I don’t think your statement is logical. If it is an imagined slight then there is nothing to “rise” above. And the slight could very well be the heart of the matter. Look at the thread title. Is the slight the heart of the matter? Yeah, it is.
