The words of Martin Luther King Jr., have profoundly changed my life. 'Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that,' This powerful code guides me along a path, despite it being the harder, but unquestionably the right path. I personally use this philosophy during times when I feel justified in keeping bitterness and giving in to pain. I always remind myself that you need light to end the darkness. We all have those moments when the world seems unfair, giving us every reason to respond with blame and hate, and to stop moving forward. Instead, applying King's words and seeking the light of reactiveness and responsibility make us grow. It is not easy, and yes, it is unpleasant; it demands patience, strength, and a relentless belief in the power of responsibility and reactiveness over hate and passiveness. Furthermore, this not only helps us move forward but also enables us to grow through our challenges and transform them into opportunities for personal evolution. And IMO this concept can also be used in various complicated issues in life, politics, society, family, friendships, and more. Let's celebrate the life and work of #martinlutherkingjr
