turning the other cheek

i have written about this topic about a year ago, and i still truly believe it is the best way to deal with your problem.

there's a teaching by jesus (and i'm not a christian, but i love this teaching) where he said just turn the other cheek.

most of my friends wouldn't understand, why turn the other cheek, but not fight back?  this is what i love about this, because you would teach them a lot more by that.  it doesn't mean that you're weak, really.  a close minded person would see that turning the other cheek is the act of a coward.  think about it, you're actually stronger than the person who hurt you.  because you're willing to be hurt, just to teach them a lesson.  anger cannot be returned with anger, compassion, is the best way to resolve everything.

so, if someone hurts you, and your human reaction is to hurt them back right?

try turning the other cheek, you'll feel so much better, and you've risen above that person, and the most important thing, you've taught them more than striking back.

try it, turn the other cheek....
