I think it merely means something more like "don't retaliate". But I could be wrong. > that is the point, as with many teachings there would be > interpretations. The judeo-christian Commandments say "do not murder". I do not think that this is easy to interpret in other ways.       -JC

Albert, very briefly, "eye for an eye" was meant to be a law that restrains vengeance, as more often than not, retribution hardly ever turns out to be a one-for-one deal. "Turn the other cheek" is a radical view (at the time, but also radical today) that suggests foregoing your right to justice and pursuing forgiveness over anything else. It is a central tenet in Christ's death as the atoning sacrifice for all sin. The right to justice still exists, but it is also important to "Love one another." Hmmm, perhaps I ought to personally dwell on that a little more ... Tenchusatsu
