    If someone has performed an injustice towards you, and transgresed the rules
    and ethics that pertain to their work, and in the process you have been abused or exploited---- as a peace maker should you take action and try to right that wrong, or instead decide to let it be, turn the other cheek, even if it hurts?

    Rigth the wrong always. Do not turn away
    Face it, and transform it.
    Even if acknowledging it, hurts
    Even if thinking about it, hurts
    Turn to face it, confront the wrong doer and tell the truth.
    You cant turn from it, oyu cannot go, it will just wait for you in front of you and not behind you.
    Things are behind you once you have faced them.
    Until you do so, htey are in front of you, blocking your way at some point, and each time you push them aside, you are in fact pushing them ahead of you, and like a garn it becomes bigger and bigger and heavier to carry and more and more difficult to push in front of you, until you finaly take it up and unknot it all and dissolve it all by taking it up.
    So it is better for you to take it up now, and be done with it.
    Unjustice, abuse of profession and ethics, must be confronted. It is you you are serving by doing so. By not doing so you acknowledge the other rigth of doing so and tear a part of your selfconfidence apart, and agree to be mistreated, and you are part of selfabuse.
    So right the wrong, it is the alone right thing to do.
    Do what is right and good for you now.
    Acknowledge your need to be free from pain and free from being abused.

    Shine again.

    IT depends on the situation. There are sometimes where turning the cheek is a the best thing to do.

    "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."

    it is always easy to perceive injustices against oneself. it is only by perceiving one's own injustices against others and avoiding them can any injustice be averted and prevented.

    this is why vengence is not only self perpetuating, but also lacking in honor and basicly an intellectual cop out.
