TURN THE OTHER CHEEK OR NOT?

Hullo bloggers! I got an ask and want you to answer truthfully. Someone shared this story with me and I decided to do the same with you and seek your honest opinions.
   Say you are a Minister of God and you attended a seminar with some friends. Things were going great, you were having fun and sometime later, you had to go use the rest room. As you were heading there, this man bumps into you. He clearly wasn't looking  where he was going. All of a sudden this man starts insulting you, saying you are blind and should watch where you're going next time and also demands an apology. You try telling him it was he who bumped into you and should apologize but the man still goes on calling you a liar and some offensive names.
  You get angry and call the man an idiot. Unknown to you, his wife is behind him and she calls you out for insulting her husband and slaps you across the face. You warn her not to do so again and don't give her a good decking because she's backing a child. Suddenly, this man's sister comes and slaps you too. The man encouraged by all the slaps gives you a generous one also. What will your reaction be? As a Minister of God? This should be fun. Remember, the truth shall set you free. Cheers!

  4. Hmmm, first thing first, as a minister of God, i can't be slapped anywhere in the world bcos i won't do what is not expected of me, but if it happens, and i'm right, if slapping the person back is the only way to correct the situation, i'm sorry i would gladly do so. I don't believe in an eye for an eye, but shit happens. That's me.

  9. Like Ochuko rightly said, pls walk away! Cos if u make any wrong move, u'll get what warri people call gather brushing (combined effort beating). Wisdom is profitable to direct.

  10. Wow three slaps just like that, in the first place, one should just ignore the guy nd leave the place but to hang around for the extra two slaps nah. I'd probably have slapped her (by reflex) the instant I was slapped nd then made a hasty exit

  11. All I can do as I read all these comments is laugh. My advice is that as a Minister, be quick to say u'r sorry even if u'r right and the other person is wrong. I'm sorry quenches rage and fights. There would av bn no slaps if that was done. Shalom
