Brothers and Sisters.


I always wondered how Martin Luther King, Jr. dealt with all the hate directed at him during the Civil Rights Movement. Maybe this line from Dostoevsky helps explain.

"Brothers, have no fear of men's sin. Love a man even in his sin, for that is the semblance of divine love and is the highest love on earth."
