Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 The RgVedoktam Ratri Suktam says that no amount of fighting with the darkness is going to help, as it is only light that dispels the darkness. The same philosophy has been restated in several ways in current times by several great people. Here is what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr has to say. My thanks to another group providing this beautiful item. JAI MAA ============================================= "Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out hate; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. ... The chain reaction of evil -- hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars -- must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation." --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength to Love, 1963, p. 51.
