“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." -Martin Luther King Jr.
In the past, mankind attempted to resolve conflict through war. Consequently, war resulted to another war. Both conflict and war are considered as darkness that sweeps the world. However, in the nature, darkness cannot overcome darkness. It would only make it darker. Likewise, we are not able to solve war with war. Martin Luther King Jr. interprets this darkness as hate and light as love. Hate is something is that is followed by a certain action. This action is war. Both Mr. Lee and Dr. King agree that only solution towards darkness is light. This is why Mr. Man Hee Lee says that when light meets light, there is victory. When we are gathered together for cause in the name of love, we are able to overcome darkness and achieve victory. A spark of light in the middle of darkness will light in some amount. However, as more lights gather together to form a greater light, it will ultimately overcome the darkness. This is truly peace that ends all wars.
