True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
‘Tis true, that which binds us also served as a hangman’s rope in the darkest of days
If man in his quest to survive understands the notion of
everlasting peace and that it is the noblest of goals;
Then peace should not be merely a concept, but a reality where
all fellow human beings live in harmony
with the absence of tension:
It is, in the finest of hours, voices from all walks of life lifting in unison with profound love for their fellow-man
As they shout from the highest mountains for the presence of justice
then, and only then will we be honest, forthright, and real.

Yes! “profound love for fellow-man” is the requisite for the presence of justice. I love this proclamation by King, and you have expanded on it in a moving way.
