The Bible.

"Ego autem dico vobis, non resistere malo: sed si quis te percusserit in dexteram maxillam tuam, praebe illi et alteram."

"But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other."

"Not to resist evil": What is here commanded, is a Christian patience under injuries and affronts, and to be willing even to suffer still more, rather than to indulge the desire of revenge: but what is further added does not strictly oblige according to the letter, for neither did Christ nor St. Paul turn the other cheek. St. John 18., and Acts 23.

Embrace it to understand it, understand it to solve it. The modern daoists want you to hide it and run from it. They are fundamentally wrong and fucking dumbcunts.

I'm Catholic. This is the official text of my Church so I use it. I plan to learn Greek in the future, but I'm focused on perfecting Latin first.
