Re: Retribution

I am a cheek turner, with one exception, one none innocuous comment a long time ago, and a punch up that was terminated by bystanders, let's hope our paths never cross again.

Re: Retribution

I think it's just human nature to want justice, and what is justice other than retribution by another name? Those of you that are claiming the moral high ground by saying that say you would turn the other cheek, would surely still want the burglar/rapist/murderer caught and punished should you be the victim I'm sure, so is that not retribution?

never having experienced those things I can't comment on them or how I would feel if I did.

Has retribution ever crossed your mind, we have all been done wrongs in our eyes, but does anyone seek vengeance or do you turn the other cheek?.

.. I took this to mean according to our personal experiences ..

Get them back no matter how long it takes. Nice to see Sun Tzu quoted Curmudgeon, Art of War, and The Book of Five rings are packed with wisdom

Surely to curse someone would have to be a major incident, its horrible ........

Well of course, goes without saying - that's why I didn't .....
