The final scene of West Side Story has Maria holding a gun to everyone standing around her beloved, Tony.
"All of you! You all killed him! And my brother, and Riff. Not with bullets, or guns, with hate. Well now I can kill, too, because now I have hate!"Maria says through her tears.

This blog post really didn't have much of a point. I just thought that was a really powerful line.
People pay too much attention to hate. If we just love each other, then Tony wouldn't have died. Romeo and Juliet's happy ending doesn't exist yet, but maybe soon.
