Mom didn’t understand that “turning the other cheek” isn’t a sign of weakness or a call to pacifism but is rather advice to avoid violence instead of focusing on it.
This is so true.
This is how Canada works 
And that’s why my heart breaks so much when they’re hurt and killed by ppl they only want to help.
I’m always reminded of a quote by my mother “Haha, let them turn the other cheek! Then it’s easier to cut off their heads.”https://twitter.com/muhammadlila/status/1020679783699501056 …
How Canada works:
- Family owns chocolate factory in Syria
- Factory gets bombed
- They lose everything
- Canadians sponsor them
- They move to town of 4,000 people
- Dad starts making chocolate in basement
- Word spreads
They now make 250,000 pieces of chocolate a month pic.twitter.com/hVVQJ5jWjr
