War Evil Growth

More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

There may have been a time when war served as a negative good by preventing the spread and growth of an evil force, but the destructive power of modern weapons eliminates even the possibility that war may serve as a negative good.
War Evil Growth
When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
One of the great drivers of the alienation that has made donald trump possible is that the growth in the american economy has been weak. in the decade from 2005 to 2015, there was not one year when the us hit three per cent growth. and to the extent there's been growth, virtually all of it has been collected by the top 10 per cent of the population. obviously, if we knew how to make growth faster, we would. we don't. and it's very difficult to make growth more broadly shared. because it's not just the us that has this problem.
Growth Problem Weak
Where america has got to move is not growth for the sake of growth, but it`s got to move to a society that provides a high quality of life for all of our people. in other words, if people have health care as a right, as do the people of every other major country, then there's less worry about growth. if people have educational opportunity and their kids can go to college and they have child care, then there's less worry about growth for the sake of growth.

He who cannot find time to consult his bible will one day find he has time to be sick; he who has no time to pray must find time to die; he who can find no time to reflect is most likely to find time to sin; he who cannot find time for repentance will find an eternity in which repentance will be of no avail; he who cannot find time to work for others may find an eternity in which to suffer for himself.
Time Sick Suffering
There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. if one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. there's always the same amount of good and evil, too. we can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. and when evil moves, some good always goes with it. but we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. all we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. that's when things get scary. life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.

I had this idea for a long time to make a film about a poet in paterson named patterson. i wanted him to be working class. eventually i thought a bus was a perfect visual way to move him, to drift him through the city, to have a measured kind of routine lifestyle. and all these things kind of congealed into the film "paterson" eventually.
