I sure felt alienated in listening to the news regarding all the celebratins. There's no question about the inexcusable, unjustifiable, horrific causes and actions he was behind, but I can't help but recall a contrasting response:"Patriots asked Jesus to lead them in an armed struggle against an evil foreign power. His reply: LOVE your enemies."catharushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603292208345268247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-87446500034701450242011-05-03T14:39:12.267-04:002011-05-03T14:39:12.267-04:00Thanks, Cranky.

But happily, someone has planted it in a garden near my home. Thanks, too, for your supporting my having my say.<br /><br />Hike/giant, I saw that quote on FB, too. Even if King didn't say those things (who says he didn't?), he WOULD have. He sure said similar words that are equally true.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-83162977946788940822011-05-03T14:16:04.855-04:002011-05-03T14:16:04.855-04:00apologies - it appears that I took a FB posting as...apologies - it appears that I took a FB posting as true :-( the quote, while relevant, is fabricated and NOT one from Martin Luther King.

My skin crawls when I contemplate celebrating the death of anyone, no matter how justified, as if it were the winning touchdown at a football game. It trivializes humanity. Your rare flower was a true gift - would that more appreciated such.<br />Fortunately those on my FB with the tendency to 'rejoice' laid low - one of the better posts, a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King:<br /><br />"I 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" <br /><br />PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-42857477265559097902011-05-03T05:23:22.225-04:002011-05-03T05:23:22.225-04:00What a beautiful flower, I have never seen one bef...What a beautiful flower, I have never seen one before.<br />Well done you for at least having a go at saying your piece.The Cranky Crone, she lives alone!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18008449764395110002noreply@blogger.com
