WWJD?

when i was younger and much more impressionable i used to wear my wwjd bracelet with pride. what would jesus do? he would turn the other cheek, right? unfortunately this is very difficult for people to do especially in times when they are wronged.

personally, i'm more of an eye for an eye type of gal. but i wouldn't recommend this outlook in terms of using violence as "the answer." i think there is no right or wrong answer. i think personal boundaries must be established. i think its taking the easy way out to say that violence should only be used when necessary. is violence necessary? absolutely not, but certain situations deem it to be the most efficient way to attain resolution. so in essence if a bitch needs to be slapped then by all means...

i hardly know much about buddhism. however, i do believe in karma. so if anything should restrain an individual from doing something stupid such as using violence that should be their motivation.

in all seriousness though, after watching Burn i know for sure that violence should never be approached on impulse cause thats just foolish. along with that, its absolutely imperative to think of the consequences. when all is said and done, i think its all about following your instincts.
