Part 4/11:
In the face of this tragedy, the community turns to the timeless words of Reverend Martin Luther King: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." Charlie lived this truth daily, inspiring countless others to choose love over hate, truth over lies, and faith over fear.
In moments of national remembrance—such as moments of silence, flags flying at half-staff, and tributes in sports arenas—there’s a collective reaffirmation of Charlie’s influence. His life exemplifies the power of embodying aloha: love, respect, and spiritual recognition that all are children of God.
