Someone once told me, "I can take all things but will never take it lightly nor let go of anyone for slapping my wife". As I tried to reason along, I asked him; what would you do in such situation if it happened? He answered, "then one of us is likely to go (die) that day?"
Whether it is you who was slapped, or your wife/husband or your mum or anybody dearest to you, could retaliation or fighting back really have been the right and best option at such a time? Oh... You're probably thinking, 'I would get him arrested'... And you think he's gonna just wait and let you call the cops and wait for their arrival? Of course NOT. C'mon... Do you really think the person who slaps you or any other person just like that is normal or in his/her right senses or state of mind? Oh No, definitely not! Such a person is being controlled against his true person.
Now get it; Silence doesn't mean folly, patience doesn't mean stupidity; the true test of strength is defined by those two virtues. Whenever you get angry, it only shows how much you circumstances and emotions control you and not you over them. You have power of your emotions, you have a choice to make in every circumstance; to be stupid or to be wise; choose wisely. The scripture so true and complete... "You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you, don’t fight back against someone who wants to do harm to you. If they hit you on the right cheek, let them hit the other cheek too."
ANGER IS NOT A NORMAL THING, BEWARE!
