There are some things in our social system to which all of us ought to be maladjusted. Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear, only love can do that.

We must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. Before it is too late, we must narrow the gaping chasm between our proclamations of peace and our lowly deeds which precipitate and perpetuate war.

One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means. We shall hew out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
Great words from a great man. Thank you for sharing them, Nancy.
You’re welcome, Shaddy.
Peace would change the world in ways that no man can imagine. We all see small glimpses of what it could be like in our own lives, but peace among all men would create a community deserving of this beautiful world we are blessed to live upon.
You are, as usual, DS, right.
“Before it is too late, we must narrow the gaping chasm between our proclamations of peace and our lowly deeds which precipitate and perpetuate war.”
Oh so true!
Thank you for sharing!
I just wish our decision-makers would LISTEN to this….
