so awesome.
Today’s announcement by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee is one fantastic choice and an awesome reminder of one of my best personal journalistic moments.

Someone please give me a more stable tripod to withstand the wind. ;-)

The actual quote by MLK that comes closest to the one being sent around today:
“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, 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. from his book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? (1967)
And that is, why he is the only hero I know in my life (except of Gandhi, of course).
