My Reaction to Bin Laden's Death
May. 3rd, 2011 08:07 amI mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Seems this quote isn't by Martin Luther King, Jr, but that does not lessen the truth of it.
Martin Luther King, Jr did say this in his book, Strength to Love:
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence,
and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....
The chain reaction of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
