turning the other cheek....you know what else works?<br />turning the other cheek.<br />not because it's this big, moral thing to do but because-- surprise, surprise --it works.<br /><br />now, I can't pretend to be able to read the mind of the man people call Jesus [_I_ don't call him that because his name was Joshua -- his name was changed during the 1st century to the Greek translation of his name] but I know that hitting someone back helps them feel righteous -- as if hitting you in the first place was justified.<br /><br />but, turning the other cheek forces the other person to stop and think about what he just did and why. that's my take on why Joshua suggested we operate that way. because it gets people to stop and think about what they've done.<br /><br />and, when Gandhi did it, it brought an empire to its knees.two crowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289442473441279230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764810271196572748.post-27064203110007100172007-01-07T14:29:00.000-08:002007-01-07T14:29:00.000-08:00I'm so sad for you.
That is NOT an education.
I ...I'm so sad for you.<br /><br />That is NOT an education.<br /><br />I believe in freedom.<br /><br />I believe in freedom of thought as well.<br /><br />I also believe in war, big ass guns and personal responsibility so I'm the one the conservatives court... that is a sad failure.Jessica Gottliebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916660571431312740noreply@blogger.com
