As follower of Christ we are suppose to act like Him but when someone does somethig bad to us we have the rigth to defend or protect ouself.

I think the question could be reworded to indicate a state of accountability rather than tolerance of injustices. We are to forgive and turn the other cheek, but we are also to be wise. Allowing another person to continue hurting others is to deny them the opportunity to be held accountable for their choices. Sometimes people continue to hurt others because they do not understand the affect they are having on those around them... And sometimes they keep hurting others simply because they have not been shown consequences.

What are Christians suppose to do when they are worn down, tired and stressed out to the max? Sometimes it is hard to turn the other cheek, when all the elements are wearing a person down. An example is Job and how he was always complaining about all that was going on. God forgave him and blessed him in the end, even though he did grumble.

Think of it this way: we do not fight between mortals, but we fight the spirits of the demonic world. It appears we are fighting mortals but that is the deception. So when we deal with someone that is hurting us we are to bless them because what you don't see is the demon has to give us the prize if we pass the test God allowed. So if you bless the wicked you get blessed, but if you curse them you get the curse.
