[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 3991226, member: 18222"] A bit of knowledge to pass on related to your maxims: [B]"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." [/B] This aphorism came about because of disproportionate action taken against the sinner. For instance, a man could have his hand cut off if he stole a loaf of bread. [B]But "if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also...”[/B] This is because if a person slaps you on right cheek, that means he slapped you with the back of his hand which is a strong sign of disrespect. So the slappee turns the other cheek to show his equality to the slapper. [/QUOTE]
