emperorofcali	Posted Sep 5th, 2009 at 1:43PM It means that Dr. King saw people as "higher" and "lower" than each other simply based upon their emotions. Of course, he didn't like that when people applied that same theory to race. Thus I suppose that if someone had raped and killed his wife, he wouldn't have hated that person. Because he's just so above that. Of course. Another gem in the legacy of overly-moralistic trite Dr. King quotes. Rated: +3Vote for this!
freeed	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 4:32AM "The sense of otherness is the Source of all fear" of which hatred is a branch. It demonstrates incomplete understanding, since we are all of the HUMAN race, in that way we are all the same and nobody should hate themselves. Rated: +2Vote for this!

faidra	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 12:17AM i agree with Jujalee.you're wise enough not to hate someone because of his ignorance and strong enough to resist when people try purposely to make you hate them.because if so,their point would be to make you weak.when you hate,you can't be objective,you can't think right Rated: +1Vote for this!

blacksheep5	Posted Sep 2nd, 2009 at 7:03AM God didn't create us to hate one another but to love one another and to love Him of our own free will. Jesus said, "Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you; that you may be children of your fahter in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."
