Let me tell ya. You gotta pay attention to signs. When life reaches out with a moment like this it's a sin if you don't reach back... I'm telling you.

About This Quote

This quote is telling the speaker to turn the other cheek, which is an act of forgiveness. This act of forgiveness is often seen as a weakness by those who do not deserve it. However, the speaker in the quote has learned that, though this act may be perceived as a sign of weakness, it is ultimately what brings joy. By not taking back what another person has done to you, you are giving them the power to do it again. If you take back what was once your possession, you are showing that next time they will take even more from you.
