Wow... this is the second time I am reading on "I have A Dream" by Martin Luther King, Jr. Still, it leaves a big impact on me. Why do we still practise segregation and discrimination while we claim ourselves to be in a civilised society of 21st century? To segregrate and discriminate people because of thier skin colours, religions and beliefs are acts that should not appear in a civilised society!
Again, this speech reminds me that how sufferings of living beings never end in this world. Historical facts from World War I and World War II until the incidence of 9-11 show that humans never stop fighting with each other over larger pieces of lands and bigger shares of wealth. How leaders and nations have always tried very hard to overpower each other -- to prove their countries are stronger in military and more influential politically. These struggles for more power and wealth always lead the people to suffer even more!
We really do need more leaders who fights for equality and justice for all human-beings in the non-violence ways! Violence cannot solve our problems. In fact, we should not segregate and discriminate people in the first place! Like the famous line from the speech of Martin Luther's King, "All men are created equal". Nobody should try to overule the others because we are all the same under the names of Gods! When our time is up, nobody has the previlage to linger even one minute more than the others. We are all the same when deaths approach us!
