Martin Luther King Jr.

It seems hopeless at times seeing news coverage of George Floyd, Amy Cooper, Breonna Taylor, Asian hate crimes, people angrily defying social distancing, people still trashing our planet, etc.

I want to share a quote by the great leader Martin Luther King Jr.

"Time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to work to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right."
