Is ignoring someone or something the same thing as turning the other cheek? Why/Why not?

To me, they are slightly different. When you ignore someone, you don't pay any attention at all to what they are saying or doing. It's as if they don't exist. However, when you "turn the other cheek," you hear (and/or see) the hurtful things that they are doing, taking them in; but decide to be the bigger person and forgive them. And perhaps even offer up "the other cheek" for more of the same as well.
