The Christian life has two dimensions, that of worship and that of discipleship. The true Christian life is to who follow the worshiping Christ and to worship the Christ followed. Worship cannot ignore the discipleship and discipleship cannot ignore worship.

Lk: 6:29 - If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn the other towards them. Possible???
Definitely!!!

If a child has done it.
You can forgive like Jesus did. You can forgive as Jesus did if you grow spiritually. Those who have reached that degree of maturity can identify those who mistreated them as kids.
Kids aren't always aware of what they're doing.

Forgiving doesn't always mean forgetting!!!
This is what Pope Francis says in his Epistle Fratelli Tutti. Forgive others is a desire for the good of others. It's not easy to forget the actions of those who hurt us. But we can wish them good with all our hearts. This is where the prayer of blessing becomes effective. Pray that we will bless the person we cannot forgive. I'm sure you'll recognize that you're going to forgive him.

Faith is to see something in the situations which is not visible. In any event of life, having an eye on faith will allow you to see some of the truths that last forever. In the sky, the life of birds can only be seen as a natural one. Jesus saw it, though, as God the Father's care. It is this eye that brings hope, significance, and meaning to life.

Who has no love for a change in life.
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that the only lasting truth is change.
But the course of my life seems to be decided by what kind of change I choose.

Everyone wants to be happy. Throughout life man has been on a journey in search of happiness. Natural happiness comes from receiving the expected responses from others and those around you. But he is still looking for happiness again.
Happiness has an spernatural level. That is the joy of being forgiven. It is an eternal joy.
Happy are those whose sins are forgiven, whose wrongs are pardoned (Ps 32: 1)
