Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the few people who was born into this world and became a rare and precious gift to humanity. He spoke the truth, guided with wisdom and changed the course of history. Although his time on earth was but a brief moment, his inspiring teachings are just as important today as they were when he first spoke them; and will be just as important for generations to come.
In this age of unrest and uncertainty, let us find comfort, understanding and hope from his teachings. Martin Luther King Jr. advocated love and kindness as the foundations for real change. Violence and anger only create more violence and anger; but love, in its purest form can create real change and understanding.
As we take this day to humbly reflect on his wisdom and to honor his legacy, may his profound words seep into your soul and ignite the love, kindness, understanding and tolerance Martin Luther King Jr. wanted us all to learn.
