The recent killing of Osama Bin Laden has had many, including myself, wondering what the best response is. Today I came across a quote that I think is perfect.
"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." ~ Anonymous
(This quote has been circulated as being from MLK Jr. which apparently is not the case. No one knows who said it, but I still like it anyway.)

Very profound, and true, no matter who originated it. Thanks for posting it.
