What are you doing this week? Pick up litter, donate to a food self, visit someone who needs to be visited, send a thank you note or a letter of gratitude to someone, and ..smile.

“Sooner or later all the people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. If this is to be achieved, man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.” Martin Luther King

Thought for the Day

Justice For All

"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it!" MLK — “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it!” MLK

Martin Luther King would have fought for environmental justice too. Read about it here.

Transend Violence

Martin Luther King Day
“Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers” Martin Luther King

We live in a violent world, but we don’t have to make it worse. Don’t reinforce violence in your life. Choose friends that are peaceful and don’t bully others. Avoid violent movies, video games and violent sports events. Turn off the TV, go outside for a walk and look for something new in nature. Enjoy our beautiful earth and the many positive people, pets and wildlife that live here.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

~ Martin Luther King Jr.
