God Bless America

With the news of the death of Osama bin Laden has come a torrent of celebration. In the loving nature of yoga I present you with the following quote in hopes of creating thoughts of a higher nature than revenge:
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.   -Martin Luther King, Jr.
There was another line attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. in today's frenzy which I posted on my facebook. After further research, I couldn't find the true composer of these potent words:
I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.  -Unknown
God Bless Us All
Namaste
