When someone damages you in any significant way, it not only
causes you suffering, it also can make you feel powerless. The natural
anger or sadness that comes from loss joins together with a desire to

different approach. He starts by talking about the law and how it
requires justice. But then Jesus says that we are to forgo payback.
