Power at its Best is LOVE - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"One of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites - polar opposites - so that love is identified with a resignation of power, and power with a denial of love... We've got to get this thing right. What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.

[@BenJehovah6969]

Let's get it right then. Love and power have never been opposites, but have been companions for those that love to hate. It is more important to learn what to love, so the power that you give love is not misplaced.

This speech certainly has a darker meaning after today's news.

Dr. King understood, dreamed about, worked for, taught & sacrificed his life for justice that was about much more than little "Black' children & little "White" children being able to sit together on the bus or in the classroom !
