Culture of Empathy Builder: Martin Luther King

  • can't use violence to end violence

  • can't use domination and violence to end domination and violence.

 

  •  Martin Luther King Jr.

    • Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.

    • The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind

  •  Mahatma Gandhi

    •  The phrase "An-eye-for-an-eye-for-an-eye-for-an-eye ... ends in making everybody blind.

  • Jesus Christ

    • You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'. But I say to you, do not resist an evildoer. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

  • Gloria Steinem

    •  "Actually the women's movement has been pretty good at that, but we constantly get sucked back towards the culture in order to prove Seriousness. So we have to be conscious of the fact that as Gandhi said, and Martin Luther King said, and Emma Goldman said, and everybody else in the world who has had this experience has concluded, it isn't that the end justifies the means, it's that the means are the ends. And if we can do that, you see, it makes for joy, and mind-expansion, and friendships, and jokes in the process. And that means we can go on forever."
