Retreat.
In the Bible,
There's one part that says something about slapping. It says if someone slaps your cheek, turn the other one for him to slap. It's not in those exact words, but the meaning is pretty much that.
So I got slapped today. Twice. But it was too fast for me to even do anything about it. I didn't turn my other cheek. Rather, I burst into tears and retreated to a corner. Unable to do anything but let out a string of uncontrollable sobs.
That is so typical me. I don't fight back. Instead, I retreat into the nearest corner. Fight or flight. I choose flight.
Not taking revenge is good, I guess. But I don't stay either. I don't say and put a smile and say I forgive you. And truly mean it. I'm sure that's what Jesus would have done. Okay, he was perfect. But still. Of all things, I retreat. Ugh.
Feeling the aftermath of another emotional attack.
Me.

SLAPPED? that's a little overboard for someone do.
It's good not to fight back sometimes, if you are the one that's wrong. But if you're fighting for your rights, then you should fight back. Don't be scared.
Be fearless.
