“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word. Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a m…an, but you refuse to hate him.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I would add something to this, but I’ve really got nothing more important to say — other than to have you all pay very special attention to this quote’s last sentence, and then to encourage you all to have the courage to put its principle into practice in ALL your encounters.
