“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
— Martin Luther King, Jr.
This was a quote posted by Chrystal on her blog in the days following the devastating storms that hit Alabama in April of 2011, followed shortly by the death of Osama bin Laden. Made me think.
