No matter how daring or cautious you may choose to be, in the course of your life you are bound to come into direct physical contact with what's known as Evil.

I mean here not a property of the gothic novel but, to say the least, apalpable social social realith that you in no way to control. No amount of good nature or cunning calculations will prevent this enounter. In fact, the more calculating, the more cautious you are, the greater is the likelihood of this rendezous, the harder its impact. Such is the structure of life that what we regard as Evil is capable of a fairly ubiquitous presence if only because it tends to appear in the guise of good. You never see it crossing your threshold announcing itself: "Hi, I"m Evil!" That, of course, indicates its secondary nature, but the comfort one may derive from this observation gets dulled by its frequency.  The purpose of my talk is simply to suggest to you a mode of resistance which may come in handy to you one day; a mode that may help you to emerge from the encounter with Evil perhaps less soiled if not necessarily more triumphant than your precursors. What I have in mind, of course, is the jamous business of turning the other cheek. I assume that one way or another you have heard about the interpretations of this verse from the Sermon on the Mount by Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther king, and many others. In other words, I assume that you are familiar with the concept of nonviolent, or passive resistance, whose main principle is returning good for evil, that is, not responding in kind. The fact that the world today is what it is suggests, to say the least, that this concept is far from being cherished universally. The reasons for its unpopularity are twofold. First, what is required for this concept to be put into effect is a margin of democracy. This is precisely what 86 percent of the globe lacks. Second, the common sense that tells a victim that his only gain in turning the other cheek and not responding in kind yields, at best, a moral victory, i.e., quite immaterial. And the moral victory itself may not be so moral after all, not only because suffering often has a narcissistic aspect to it, but also because it renders the victim superior, that is, better than his enemy. Yet no matter how evil your enemy is, the crucial thing is that he is human; and although incapable of loving another like ourselves, we nonetheless know that evil takes root when one man starts to think that he is bettr tan another. This is why you've been hit on your right cheek in the first place.
