I wrote this back when the news had just released the details of Osama Bin Laden's death. I want you all to really think about the quote. Martin Luther King Jr. was a magnificent man with brilliant thoughts. His voice is worth listening to, even though he is no longer here physically with us.
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, I can feel relief, 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.
What a triumph it is for the United States of America! Osama Bin Laden has been killed. While many people are celebrating his death, and maybe rightly so, how appropriate is it for us to be happy about such things? A death is a death. How can we be so happy in the face of such destruction? A human life!
