Are You Blessed?

In class a few weeks ago a small discussion came about when someone used the word "blessed". Similar sayings such as, "God Bless You" or "We are blessed", have secret messages that some people who use these phrases, aren't aware of. I thought that there's nothing wrong with saying either but then Mr. O'Connor raised a good point saying, that the people who aren't "blessed" are in fact "shunned", I then changed my mind to the other side. The other side of me agreed that you have to be careful how you phrase some words. These connotations can be considered offensive to the people that aren't considered blessed or as fortunate.
