Love Your EnemiesJesus said, "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But now I tell you: do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, let him also slap you on the left cheek… love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. » Is it possible to follow this teaching of Jesus today? The answer is yes, transmitting this teaching is possible. There are still people who live this way. One person who lived this way was Mohandas Gandhi. Gandhi was a man of peace from India. Gandhi did not resort to violence in any way. Gandhi showed that those who are powerless have power. He never fought back, but he would sit and pray. Gandhi always wanted equality and peace among all. If someone had been hurt in some way, he would never have turned around to hurt them. Instead, he would have prayed or simply walked away. Even though through his courageous words and actions he was a very powerful person, he still could not control the decisions and actions of others. Gandhi once said: “I have no strength except that which God gives me. I have no authority over the men of my country, except purely moral authority. » Like many of our brave and peaceful leaders, Gandhi was also assassinated. He died on January 30, 1948. Everyone should be more like Gandhi. Everyone should be kind and peaceful and then the world could be an easier place to live. It is not an easy way to live because you act or even speak before you act. Many people often do things without thinking. For example, if person “A” was. To hit person “B”, person “B” would automatically retaliate. This is probably not what Jesus would do. There are very few people who would turn the other cheek or probably walk away. the same, or worse, than what the other person did. Another way to follow this philosophy is, as Jesus said, “Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself.” » Think about it, no one would want someone to hurt them, emotionally or physically, and the other person probably feels the same way. Verbal abuse, talking about others, judging others is also a part of this, it harms others, and it's hard not to do it. do it because everyone does it but just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's okay.
