4. Yes, love is so powerful.

Like you say, NOT the sentimental anemic kind. The unafraid, powerful kind.

There are so many different kinds of love. Friendly love, erotic or sexual love, hallmark greeting card sentimental or even commercialized love. What we're talking about & I believe King was highlighting, is the kind that you describe - the kind that meets hatred head on. I'm not sure how we do it either qwlauren35. I agree that it's important that we try.

Maybe each person does it kind of in their own way. And joins movements like say the liberal movement or a march on washington or a local food bank, to feel a part of something bigger that can not only have profound positive impact on daily lives but can help us feel connected in ways that social media cannot.

Thank for sharing your thoughts. I enjoy reading them.
