Jesus is our ultimate example of how to respond when insulted, belittled, or violated somehow. He said: don’t resist, or hit back, or retaliate.
God can forgive the sinner. Our response to the one “who insults you or violates your rights” — is to “simply ignore insignificant insults or trivial losses”.
But I say to you, do not resist an evil person [who insults you or violates your rights]; but whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other toward him also [simply ignore insignificant insults or trivial losses and do not bother to retaliate—maintain your dignity, your self-respect, your poise].
“Do not bother to retaliate.
—Maintain your dignity,
your self-respect,
your poise”
