LE PAROLE DI MARTIN LUTHER KING OGGI
Le parole di Martin Luther King risuonano estremamente attuali in questi giorni di guerra.
I bombardamenti hanno colpito sia siti militari che civili. Purtroppo le parole del pastore afroamericano risuonano estremamente attuali: βNon abbiamo ancora imparato la semplice arte di vivere insieme come fratelliβ.
Non finchΓ© esisteranno persone meschine e insignificanti che vivono di potere e apparenza e nutrono questo potere con il terrore, la minaccia, la violenza e l'offesa.
NOTE FINALI
Questo post contiene materiale non originale, per la maggior parte Γ¨ un volgarissimo copia e incolla. Normalmente rinunceremmo volentieri a qualsiasi compenso "bruciandolo". In questo caso eccezionale abbiamo deciso di indicare quale beneficiario al 100% , le cui donazioni andranno ai volontari ucraini.
Non possiamo fare molto altro se non manifestare, ma soprattutto sperare (pregare) perchΓ© le menti ottuse di questi governanti (Putin, Biden & Co.) vengano illuminate e smettano di mettere l'uno contro l'altro due popoli con una storia comune e legami forti.
A chi come noi si sente impotente di fronte a tutto ciΓ², chiedo di rinunciare a quei "due spicci" che riesce a ricavare da Hive per contribuire nel suo piccolo.
ENGLISH VERSION
What would Martin Luther King say in the face of the Russian attack on Ukraine? 60 years after his assassination, the force of his message is still powerful and urges us to reflect in these dark times. The quote is taken from one of his many speeches, which are true hymns to justice, social equality and peace.
"We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers."
WITH VIOLENCE YOU CANNOT RESTORE THE TRUTH
"I am concerned about a better world. I am concerned about justice; I am concerned about fraternity; I am concerned about freedom. And when you are concerned about these things, you cannot preach violence. Because through violence you can kill a murderer, but you cannot kill murder. Through violence you can kill a liar, but you cannot establish the truth. Through violence you can kill a hater, but you cannot kill hatred through violence. Darkness cannot erase darkness; only light can do that."
19 August 1967 | Excerpt from speech on violence, delivered at the 11th annual gathering of the Southern Christian Leaders Conference.
THE WORDS OF MARTIN LUTHER KING TODAY
Martin Luther King's words resonate with us in these days of war.
Bombings have hit both military and civilian sites. Sadly, the words of the African-American pastor resonate with us today: "We have not yet learned the simple art of living together as brothers".
Not as long as there are petty and insignificant people who live by power and feed that power with terror, violence and offence.
FINAL NOTES
This post contains non-original material, most of it is a vulgar copy and paste. Normally we would gladly renounce any compensation by "burning" it. In this exceptional case we have decided to make a 100% beneficiary, whose donations will go to the Ukrainian volunteers.
There's not much else we can do but demonstrate, but above all hope (pray) that the dull minds of these politicians (Putin, Biden & Co.) will be enlightened and stop pitting two peoples with a common history and strong ties against each other.
For those of us who feel powerless in the face of all this, I ask that we give up what 'two cents' we can get from Hive to contribute in our own small way.
