Most people are too dense to understand this. It is not a sign of weakness, but strength to show love and understanding to those who show enmity towards you. It completely disarms them and quite often they find that they have more in common with you than they knew.

And look how he wound up. I'm going to stick with my current "treating my enemies like the poison toads they are", while applauding the better people who can find it in themselves to rise above anger. My weapon is generally sarcasm and angry wit, mind you- not violence.
I know I do not have the Buddha Mind. MLK possessed the Buddha Mind, as he frequently acted out of a place of perfect love. I still act out of ego and hate.

Most people don't realize that real heroes don't kill their enemies - they save them from their own anger and hate and misguided thinking.
