Quote o' the Day

"I will 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.)

edited to add: I just learned that "I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy," was not actually said by King. Regardless, it still echoes what I feel.


Also feeling Ezekiel 18:23, "Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?" (KJV)
