“Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love…Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding.”
Dr. Martin Luther King — 1958
Modern day modification:
“Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love…Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate people who believe using state sanctioned violence is appropriate, but to win his or her friendship and understanding… and to show them that the initiation of violence is never appropriate to solve problems.”
…Â just a thought I had while reading his amazing words of wisdom.
