Culture of Empathy Builder: Martin Luther King
Martin Luther
King Jr.
Mahatma Gandhi
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."
