From Martin Luther King, Jr. (and the mindfulness blog):

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

I like that quote. thank you.

it can also be used in the mental wellness of one.
--- thinking "dark" will almost suredly create more darkness... and hating, which is also a negative emotion, will only create more negativity. (IMO)
Thanks for this!

Pachy,

Thank you bringing these words to light....sadly words we we all to often do not practice in our daily lives as we know we should

eskielover

PS, I was very glad to see the words you did post under the title.....I was a little worried there for a moment for what usually follows a heading like that. That could have been very interesting....oops.....lol....just teasing.
