Turn the other cheek...

The Bible tells us clearly and without any doubt that we should turn the other cheek! Is it just figuratively or both figuratively and literally? Personally I think both, to practice it is another story. The problem or what makes it hard is not turning the other cheek because you deserve to be "slapped" but to turn the other cheek when you are unfairly and unjustly victimized and you are so bubbling over with anger because you know that you are innocent and you did not deserve this. Yea, I felt that way many times and i'm tempted to retaliate because it's my right and I might come off as being weak. Easier said that done but it will make us stronger not weaker!
