*When someone insults you, its best to "turn the other cheek".*

This picture reminds me of a child being bullied by others. I'm sure it has happened to a lot of people when they were younger one time or another, but it's not just children that are insulted. Lots of adults face this every day and this just shows how cruel the world can be sometimes. Adults don't show the same reactions as children, because they are more mature in their actions. By telling someone to "turn the other cheek", you are telling them to forget what someone else has to say. You're better off ignoring it, or shrugging it off.

In the play, A Raisin In The Sun, when Mr. Lindner shows up at the Younger's house, there is a dramatic downturn. At first, the family doesn't understand why he is present, but then the reason becomes clear. He begins to slowly show them that they are not fit to live in an all-white neighborhood, and that they should accept money to stay where they live. It was a filthy bribe to Mama and Ruth, but Walter decides to accept this offer until his family talks sense into him. By Walter turning the other cheek and rejecting the money with pride, it shows that what he did was better for himself and his family. In the picture, by turning the other cheek, the insults and bullying won't stop you from succeeding and living a much better life.
