i came across this speech by Martin Luther King today at BBC's website....i think this speech is still valid for us to read, apply and ponder on today...and hopefully we realise what it takes to see the changes that we want to see...as an individual, a son/daughter, a father/mother, as a citizen and as human....especially since MERDEKA day is around the corner...
"...in the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds
Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline
We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence
Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force..."
~ I Have A Dream by Martin Luther King on 28.08.1963 ~
