Retaliation seems to be in vogue in some sub-cultures in America. Rather than working harder to resolve the situation, to compromise or reconcile, or on occasion to ignore it, so many people would rather their anger be released. This results in retaliation and aggression. The situations can be as typical as road rage. An offended driver will retaliate at another driver.
Domestic violence is the result of retaliation.
A confrontation between parent and child occurs and the offended party retaliates. In the Sermon on the Mount, the most studied passage of the New Testament for disciples of Jesus Messiah, he makes 2 most profound statements. Resist not evil. Love your enemies. Jesus is not speaking about evil in general, because evil and temptation must be resisted.
