It's a bit late, but here it is. First let me start off by saying that I apologize this is going up so late. We have been super busy with the whole spring cleaning challenge. It is AMAZING how much you can accumulate throughout the years, especially when you add marriage and children into the mix. Let's just say we are going to have TONS for donations.
Everyone is talking about the death of Osama Bin Laden. And a lot of American's are actually upset that President Obama will not be releasing the pictures of his dead body. I have to say I understand a lot of American's, especially those that lost loved ones due to Bin Laden's wrath, want the closure. They want the reassurance that Bin Laden is dead and want to see the pictures. However, sometimes in life we just have to have faith. And while I understand most people's desire to see these pictures I agree with the president's decision. I don't think they should come out for public view. It could start a whole mess of troubles, and it's probably pretty gruesome.
While I don't rejoice in a death of anyone no matter how terrible they actually are, I am relieved that his personal reign of terror is at an end. But let me just leave you with this quote:
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction…The chain reaction of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.”
“Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.”
Have a good and beautiful day!
Great post! I loved the quote by MLK Jr.
