The Enemy

Today’s Thursday Thought quote calls into question who “the enemy” really is…or  isn’t.

“We are called to speak for the weak, for the voiceless, for the victims of our nation, for those it calls ‘enemy,’ for no document from human hands can make these humans any less our brothers.  I think of them, too, because it is clear to me that there will be no meaningful solution until some attempt is made to know them and hear their broken cries.”  Martin Luther King, Jr.   (From his speech “When Silence Is Betrayal,” given at Riverside Church, New York, April 4, 1967.)
