Jesus reminds us that the good life combines the toughness of the serpent and the tenderness of the dove. To have serpent-like qualities devoid of dovelike qualities is to be passionless, mean, and selfish. To have dovelike without serpent-like qualities is to be sentimental, anemic and aimless. We must combine strongly marked antitheses. ✨ Martin Luther King (Jr.) (2012). A Gift of Love: Sermons from Strength to Love and Other Preachings, p.7, Beacon Press
