Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Martin Luther King spoke out against the injusticies of his day, and left us an example to follow. Not all of us will be great leaders of movements the size of King's, but we can all do something small that can change and improve things for the better. We're wrong to wait on some big leader to appear to set things right; it takes all of us to do our part. For King we shouldn't be silent about things that aren't right - for then our lives would end. Hence, we need not engage in the frivolities of our day and waste our lives; we need to be at the forefront of what matters in this life! God has given us one life - one life only - and we need to make it count.
