Extreme

"The question is not whether or not we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for love or for hate? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice?

In that dramatic scene on Calvary's hill, three men were crucified......for the same crime. Two were extremists for immorality, and thus fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ, was an extremist for love, truth, and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment....."

- Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
