A newly uncovered handwritten note from Martin Luther King Jr. reads: 'Love is the greatest force in the universe. It is the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. He who loves is a participant in the being of God.'

Just in time for Valentine's Day, a rare handwritten note by Martin Luther King Jr. on the meaning of love has been discovered.

The note, believed to be from sometime in the mid-1960s, is up for sale through the memorabilia company Moments in Time. While the note's sale price of $42,000 may seem steep, Gary Zimet, CEO of Moments in Time, says the price reflects just how rare it is to find a handwritten note by the renowned civil rights leader."It is extremely rare. Other than inscriptions in letters and books, finding a handwritten note is very rare," Zimet said.

This is awesome!!

Yes!!

It is a shame he was such a conflicted human man being, virtuous in his public persona and and flawed in his pursuit of women🤔....

Haven't seen we seen this a while ago? Great sentiments from a time long gone. The 'Moral cosmos? 'A participant in the being of God'? Oh Martin, you should see us now.

Yes. This is the true essence of being human.

To bad you the Media/ Dems , don't agree.... You make your money off of keeping us the US ppls at odds with each other. Pushing an agenda that is 180 of Dr. King.

Beautiful.

Gooo frado

ChabbyForever1 Still a cheating ass.

Truth shall set USA free !!

Love has be replaced these days by many other terms'self love, exploitation, hypocrisy, hate , and cheating'!

“The type of feeling that you have toward boys is probably not an innate tendency, but something that has been culturally acquired. Your reasons for adopting this habit have now been consciously suppressed or unconsciously repressed.” (1)

And the women he abused?

Aaah I think gravity is the most powerful force or maybe electromagnetic

YIKES

MLK is amazing person and we really need him today!!!

Great Man, great words 👏👏👏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

LOVE ❤️ NEVER FAiLS 2 Corinthians 13 Americans R UNITED because of God’s WORD NO religious leadership NO politician NO corrupt power CAN STOP 🛑 R Revival Dance 💃 4 Americans The FRINGE N both parties will be LEFT BEHIND God’s Grace is on America HE ain’t mocked

He's talking about loving others on a one-on-one bases where you find a need in others requiring mercy and grace. The 'Good Samaritan,' is an example of righteous behavior. God has proclaimed that he wants mercy not sacrifice. That's how mortals participate in the divine.

He loved alright, loved cheating on his wife with other females. It's true so don't deny it! Truth is truth and he wasn't a saint as folks would have us believe. He did do good things, too.

That’s a rib tattoo right there.

He is one of my favorite American heroes.

If anyone at CNN had journalistic integrity, you’d ask POTUS the [Q]uestion.

Yet so easily dismissed by so many. The world is full of hate.

VIOLENT LEFTIST FASCISTS STRIKE AGAIN.

To his wife or mistress?

Damn🙌🏾

Not comment !! Just, you have my Respect Mister King !! 🙏👏👍

i wonder which mistress this was to.

And for the rest of you, Dr. King wanted the same thing AndrewYang UBI plan is. Sounds like something we all should be on board with. Data included.

God is love.

I don't believe in god, but I do believe in love.

I have said the same thing to my girlfriend. To love someone is as close we can be to God. It is the divine spirit made manifest.

Wise words. By the way, MLK was a proponent of a Bernie a Sanders type of Ideology.

Not a lot of love going on here with fakenews and Democrats foaming hate

Say all the time, but there are different kinds of love, he left out ' unconditional Love ' that kind of Love along with spiritual intelligence are the greatest forces in this Universe, and it needs to be taught and felt, that's why people dont know it's the answer and the truth.

😭❤️

This doesn’t work for GOP 🤦🏾‍♂️

Einstein understood this too and conveyed it to his daughter in letters. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wonder if that was plagiarized too?

He is the one who cheats on his thesis though

MLK if alive today would've been outed by metoo

Very well written. And the best part- it's very true.

He got reincarnated as marwilliamson

Amen!

love ❤️ is all you need

Love is a wonderful emotion. I love loving people; even those who don’t love me. Hate destroys, not only the person you’re projecting that hate on, but it destroys you. Try Love and look at how your life will be positively change even through bad times.

We really need his words right now. Beautiful and truthful. ❤

This is great!

2027

Can somebody tell that to the Godless, leftist, progressives , please --------

Now just follow it and stop spreading hate and FakeNews

So basically the opposite of how democrats act.

Rev. Dr.

Wonderful. ❤

More powerful than any other force our MAKER bestowed upon to his children is WILL. People need to use will power to become addicted to good behavior. Use will power to develop addictions that oppose bad behavior such as illegal drugs, abusing others gluttonies, alcohol, gambling

It's just like a Trump letter if Trump knew what love actually was and could read and write

I think he was a great man of his time, for his people; a flawed man, but a great man...however, sadly, in the post modern era these words sound almost trite. Just shows how our values have changed since then; how corrupted we are. 'Moral cosmos'? 'The being of God'?

Amen

Wonderful! Since Trump has such a questionable connection with evangelicals, need to try that quote out on him and get his reaction. Wait ....no...he would only demean love and MLK.

love

God. Is. Love.

Join my discord if you’re into politics

Being of god? I w der which god? The one who sanctioned slavery? Murder? Who told slaves to obey their masters? This should be another god he’s making reference to!

Take some notes, CNN. 👍

Lost on Atheist..........

I wish more people would understand this. No one really knows what happens when we leave this earth. In saying that wouldn't you want to give yourself and your soul a chance. Hate solves nothing.

His house was full of guns too. 'like an arsenal'

He must have written this in between reading Russian Commie Literature, found in his hotel room when he was shot.

The difficulty is our erroneous beliefs, based mostly upon religious texts and our interpretation of them, that makes God unbelievable. The solution is to ask more questions about the nature of God without worrying of being punished for it. via YouTube

Martin Luther King Jr. also said that homosexuality was “probably not an innate tendency,” and gay people should “seek a good psychiatrist.” Start tearing down those statues and renaming those streets

I think the republicans missed this class

Summary of several bible verses 🤷🏼‍♂️

Democrats hate God.

Love - Jan Theuninck, 2019

Please tell your fellow Democrats to show Trump a little love for the sake of the country! When y’all fight, it’s the citizens that suffer!

Trump will be saying that at his next hate rally

Why beating Trump means changing how the game is played.AliVelshi says to defeat Pres. Trump, Democratic presidential candidates should stop infighting and focus squarely 'on defeating a president who lies to Americans and endangers America.' AliVelshi I completely agree with your assessment and would add that we need to attack Trump twice as hard. I've known lots of bullies and they only get it when their teeth get knocked off. Reasoning with them is as pointless as trying to appeal to their conscience - they have none! AliVelshi The deceitful DNC is screwing with their candidates how can they even talk about truth. Know this, the majority who voted for for Trump are strong and true. Beat that! AliVelshi Could someone remind, like, EVERY other MSNBC host including Ari that IA has 41 pledged delegates, NH about half that, and they’re all singing about Buttigieg and Sanders as if anything before Super Tuesday matters? This is the kind of s**t I’d expect from CNN. :-/
