I put Dr. King on a level with Jesus because his wisdom and teachings are so profound that many of us fail to understand him, just like many of us fail to understand what Jesus was ACTUALLY teaching, that not only is he and God one, but that we and God are one. We just haven't realized it.
I often struggle with love, especially as a Black person in this society, but mindfulness meditation is teaching me about compassion and loving-kindness. So I'll continue to endeavor to look upon those who hate me with compassionate eyes.
Thank you so much for this wonderful tribute!
