Dr. King once wrote, "The aftermath of nonviolence is the creation of the Beloved Community, while the aftermath of violence is tragic bitterness." While violence may be effective in temporarily keeping us safe from harm, it can never create relationships. Violence can never heal the harm that has been done. Violence can never bring about reconciliation. Violence can never create Beloved Community. Only love can do that.
