I know there are those who believe an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but if they would read further here is what Jesus says.

"But in Matthew (5:38-42) in the New Testament, Jesus repudiates even that notion. "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."

Except for the moneychangers at the Temple.

Sometimes my temper gets the best of me, but it’s normally just me being annoyed/irritated. You do NOT want to see me truly mad!!

I try to operate on the rule ‘if it’s not going to matter 100 years from now, it’s not going to matter now (unless someone’s life/welfare is in jeopardy)’. Unfortunately, all this election stuff IS going to matter 100 years from now.
