Comparing both Gandhi and Martin Luther King's words of wisdom was not as difficult as I thought. Although, both men are are talking about two completely different subjects, at times, their words connect towards each other as if they were both fighting for the same freedoms. An example I found was when Gandhi says, “Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable”. It is pretty straight forward what is being said here but for further clarification Gandhi is basically saying that love itself is one of the most important parts of life and with that said, it is one of the biggest challenges for today because it requires us to be humble with ourselves as to one another. A quote on the same topic of love by Martin Luther King goes like this, "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend". King is stating here that love has the power to make the enemy (and all the hatred that comes along with them) become a friendship we might never in a million years imagine there to be between on another. Love is so powerful it can turn anger and hatred into care and friendship. Both of these quotes relate because they express how important love truely is in our world today and life itself.
