The best thing about today? My sister gets time off school and we get to watch movies and have dance parties to Plus One. Except I'm pretty sure I was the only one dancing. She just sat there. Still.
Other best thing about today? MLK. Seriously. The man was a genius. Here are a few of my favorite quotes from him:
Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else? The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.
We must rapidly begin the shift from a 'thing-oriented' society to a 'person-oriented' society. When machines and computers, profit motives, and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
Brilliant, yeah?
