"In The End We Will Remember Not The Words of Our Enemies But The Silence Of Our Friends"

This is a quote by Martin Luther King Jr. when I heard it on Oprah the other day I grabbed a pen and wrote it down so I could quote him correctly.  I remember the silence of those whom I considered friends and I remember that pain and disbelief that accompanied that silence.  I am sure that I have guilty of remaining silent at times also, but those times would be few.  If anything I was more apt to get in shit for opening my mouth when I witnessed an injustice.

It is almost midnight and I am tired.  It is to late tonight to write extensively on this topic or any other.  I just wanted to introduce the topic while it was fresh in my mind.  And I don't want to go to that painful time in my head.
I am grateful for my belief, no not belief, my absolute knowkledge that what goes around always comes back around, and then some.  I may touch on this subject tomorrow, perhaps I won't have to, just maybe writing it is enough for now.....Off to bed now.
