It is reported that the Prophet, Brigham Young once said, "He who takes offense when no offense was intended is a fool, and he who takes offense when offense was intended is usually a fool. There are two courses of action to follow when bitten by a rattlesnake. One may, in anger, fear, or vengefulness, pursue the creature and kill it. Or he make full haste top get the venom out of his system, but if we attempt to follow the former, we may not be around long enough to finish it."
