Can Joy Conquer Evil?

The world weeps with Paris today.  The terrorist attacks that killed scores of people have left a city, a nation and the world in a state of shock, sadness and fear.  My own heart is heavy, grieving for those who were killed or injured, feeling for those who have been scarred by the experience, mourning alongside those who lost loved ones and fearing what may come.  And yet, my heart feels hope and love.  Paris, and the rest of the world have awaken to a new day.  Let us embrace the light of this new day, and that of each new day, to allow love to shine forth and bring joy again.

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."  -Martin Luther King, Jr.
