We can no longer afford to worship the god of hate or bow before the altar of retaliation. the oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate. history is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path of hate. love is the key to the solution of the problems of the world.

Life Hate Ocean

More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

The potential beauty of human life is constantly made ugly by man's ever recurring song of retaliation. the oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever rising tides of revenge. man has never risen above the injunction of the lex talionis: "life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." in spite of the fact that the law of revenge solves no social problems, men continue to follow its disastrous leading. history is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path.

We all know of course, that we should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fiddle around in any way with electrical equipment. never.

In spite of the fact that the law of revenge solves no social problems, men continue to follow its disastrous leading. history is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path.

For all of the creeds are false, and all of the creeds are true; and low at the shrines where my brothers bow, there will i bow too; for no form of a god, and no fashion man has made in his desperate passion, but is worthy some worship of mine; not too hot with a gross belief, nor yet too cold with pride, i will bow me down where my brothers bow, humble, but open eyed.

Bow, bow, ye lower middle classes! bow, bow, ye tradesmen, bow, ye masses!

Generations of women have sacrificed their lives to become their mothers. but we do not have that luxury any more. the world has changed too much to let us have the lives our mothers had. and we can no longer afford the guilt we feel at not being our mothers. we cannot afford any guilt that pulls us back to the past. we have to grow up, whether we want to or not. we have to stop blaming men and mothers and seize every second of our lives with passion. we can no longer afford to waste our creativity. we cannot afford spiritual laziness.
