"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannon 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. So when Jesus says “Love your enemies,” he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition. Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies– or else? The chain reaction of evil–hate begetting hate, wars producing wars–must be broken, ore we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation."
(Martin Luther King, Jr. - The Strength to Love)
I am currently doing a lot of waiting. Because of this, I'm glad that I have a job that, recently, keeps me somewhat busy. It keeps me from thinking. Sorry to be to vague, but I'm not feeling up to dealing with the truth.
