I've encountered some headache stuff, wondering what's my move - "An eye for an eye", or the law of retaliation, is the principle that a person who has injured another person is to be penalized to a similar degree, or in softer interpretations, the victim receives the [estimated] value of the injury in compensation.
Exodus 21:24
eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, …23"But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, 24eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,25burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
Matthew 5:38…
38"You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.'39"But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.…
Why is that absurdity? You got Kneed down for bad and unfair treatment? Why? In reality, Chinese wisdom said similar things, as described blow. - 老规矩还不能走: 积善积德为现代社会的精神标杆和契约 - When you're young, it's hard to swallow, but you can if you're older.

Can you give me an example to illustrate how it works?举报 [4]王小平 2014-6-30 12:59 “自利利他”是一种博弈,并非先有“利他->自利”,或者“自利->利他”, 而是一种取向,所谓的“双赢”或“多赢”。在博弈论中,重复的博弈演化的稳定结果可以很好解释这个社会问题,单一的博弈肯定是会选择“自利”,然后再选择“自利—>利他”,多次的博弈的话选择“自利利他”就比较符合人性,佛学中也被视为“慈悲”的一面。举报 [3]李胜文 2014-6-30 02:54 Thanks for your elaboration. Christian talks about "All for one, one for all." But, 佛学中所谓“自利利他” - got be the other way around - “利他--> 自利" - if one can't think about other - hard to work with. Do you think?举报 [2]王小平 2014-6-29 22:59 古人认为,“君子坦荡荡”,必须有智、仁、勇为三德 。孔子说:“仁者不忧,智者不惑,勇者不惧”。如今提倡“人人为我,我为人人”,佛学中所谓“自利利他”,都是积善积德,为现代社会的精神标杆和契约。举报 [1]吕喆 2014-6-28 11:13 HOLD在悟。 博主回复(2014-6-29 01:50):Like what you said: 事实上,“老规矩”本身蕴含着人生智慧、行为规范和人际交往的经验总结,恪守“老规矩”,固然会在自己感到拘束的同时又给了旁人一个因循守旧的印象,但却可以避免出现对自己非常不利的人际状况。试想,如果一个人吃饭的时候总在菜盘里乱翻吃相难看,平时“坐没坐相站没站相”乱说乱动,又经常枉顾他人的隐私和习惯乱翻别人的东西(包括电脑和手机),甚至行踪无定而常与父母亲友同事“失联”,无疑都会严重损害其公众形象,让周围人都觉得其人“不靠谱”。反之,如果我们在生活中注意类似的许多细节,则会给旁人留下很好的印象,避免很多不必要的麻烦甚至危险。所以说,“老规矩”还不能走。
