Right and Wrong

June 6, 2010 | By | Add a Comment

But I’m here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong.  Eternally so, absolutely so.  It’s wrong to hate.  It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong.  It’s wrong in America, it’s wrong in Germany, it’s wrong in Russia, it’s wrong in China.  It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it’s wrong in 1954 A.D.  It always has been wrong, (That’s right!) and it always will be wrong. (That’s right!)  It’s wrong to throw our lives away in riotous living.  No matter if everybody in Detroit is doing it, it’s wrong.  It always will be wrong, and it always has been wrong.  It’s wrong in every age, and it’s wrong in every nation.  Some things are right, and some things are wrong, no matter if everybody is doing the contrary.  Some things in this universe are absolute.  The God of the universe has made it so. And so long as we adopt this relative attitude toward right and wrong, we’re revolting against the very laws of God himself.

– Martin Luther King, Jr.
