I take it as someone seeing something bad happening and not doing anything about it. Pretending like you didn't see it or didn't know about it because you don't want to get involved, don't feel it's your place to or that you think you can't do anything about it anyways.
Yeah basically. Like if you saw someone getting harassed you just "turn your cheek" like you didn't see anything. Maybe I'm thinking of the bystander effect...
That seems cruel. That is unproductive to society. Things like this is what allows laws to be broken. You should not ignore someone in need. Everyone has the power to stop the bad they just do not always use it.
What does the teaching "Turn the other cheek" really mean?
