Yet, in spite of these spectacular strides in science and technology, and still unlimited ones to come, something basic is missing. There is a sort of poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dr. King had a way of saying things then, that remain important through time. His words are constant, whether they are concerning the civil rights movement, the war in Vietnam, or a just another Sunday sermon.
Dr. King was the last black man to win the Nobel Peace Prize. I was reminded of that when President Obama won his. That is why I have been reading and listening to his words lately, they rang of peace and love. His words rang of justice and equality. His words lead a nation through one of its darkest times.
Maybe his words can be heard again today. Let's live together as brothers, love your neighbor more than your Mac book. Let go of the materialism and impatience in our society, culture and especially our generation. Thanks Dr. King for your wise words.
