Quote from Martin Luther King, Jr.

Quote:

The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Martin Luther King, Jr

Tal, Thank you for posting that quote. The world would be a much better place if we could all follow the Golden Rule.

That very true. I do try to follow that but often fall short. Some people make following it quite hard.
