Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man who deserves to be honored and respected. Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, is a day very worthy of being celebrated. Martin Luther King, Jr. deserves this honor and much, much more. The opportunities many have today are a result of Martin Luther King, Jr. vision and work.
Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream not for himself but for all mankind. A dream of equality, freedom, and justice. Nothing Martin Luther King, Jr. did centered on himself, it all centered on others. His life was one of service to others unconditionally.
As a young boy from a different country, Martin Luther King, Jr. taught me a major life lesson, one I learned very early in my life. He taught me not only to dream, but to fully expect the dream to be fulfilled. No matter how huge or impossible the dream may seem, it can come true if we are willing to climb to the top of the mountain, and work to fulfill our dream.
There is much division today, and the need to follow Martin Luther King, Jr's dream has not been needed more in recent times than today. The protests of today do not even come close to resembling the peaceful protests Martin Luther King, Jr. led. Martin Luther King, Jr. promoted peace and unity, today's protests instead promote division and violence. It is time to honor him by returning to the example he set and make his dream a reality.
I Hope you take the time today to reflect on the life of an honorable and just man, who left an example of how to live in service to others. Martin Luther King, Jr was and still a man who deserves to be both honored and respected.
