Matthew 5:38-42
“You have heard that it was said, `An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you.

Homily:

Revenge is one of the most harmful things we can do to ourselves.

It is one of the best examples of something that is “rejuvenating in the short term, debilitating in the long term”.

If you can’t sit still and do nothing, try forgiveness. It is also an active action.
