Yesterday (which is today for another 10 minutes in Texas), the U.S.A. celebrated the birthday
of Martin Luther King.


Martin Luther King:
"As I delved deeper into the philosophy of Gandhi my skepticism concerning the power of love
gradually diminished, and I came to see for the first time its potency in the area of social reform.  
Prior to reading Gandhi, I had about concluded that the ethics of Jesus were only effective in
individual relationships.  The “turn the other cheek” philosophy and the “love your enemies”
philosophy were only valid, I felt, when individuals were in conflict with other individuals.  
When racial groups and nations were in conflict, a more realistic approach seemed necessary.  
But after reading Gandhi, I saw how utterly mistaken I was. Gandhi was probably the
first person in history to lift the love ethic of Jesus above mere interaction between individuals
to a powerful and effective social force on a large scale."


Writing Challenge #3: "I saw how utterly mistaken I was." ( Moral revelation? Personal epiphany? )
