on what I've been thinking about all day...

"I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

-Martin Luther King Jr

----- an addendum:

two articles I found to be interesting reads in light of current events:

1) Mourning the Death of Osama Bin Laden...and the Loss of Every Other Life (thanks to Missy's blog)

2)Is God Glad Osama Bin Laden is Dead? by John Piper (thanks to Auna for posting this on facebook)
