I Have A Dream

"I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the
 difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still 
have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the
 American dream."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.


Martin Luther King, Jr. John Lennon. Mohandas Gandhi. Jesus Christ. 


These people are all widely diverse. They all had different ideas and beliefs, but they all had the same thing. They all believed they could change the world. They all said that the world does not have to be the way it is. They all said people CAN be peaceful. They said the world can change. John Lennon, with his infamous music containing lyrics proclaiming the message of a peaceful world, a world where not everyone hates one another. He had a dream. Mohandas Gandhi. He is the father of peaceful protest. He believed things that need to be changed can be changed without violence. He had a dream. A dream that was realized by Martin Luther King, Jr. King believed in Gandhi's dream. He believed we could make the nation's largest minority group, a group abused for 200 years by our country, equals. He had a dream. A dream that was fulfilled. Jesus Christ. He believed people could love one another. He believed that people could get along and be content in any situation life may throw our way. He believed people could be patient. He had a dream.


I too have a dream. I have a dream that the dreams of these great people will one day be a reality. I have a dream one day people will stop their hateful and violent ways. I have a dream that one day every person will be content. I dream of people's dreams all around the world, from Darfur to the United States, will become a reality. I dream of a place where people live in harmony instead of fear. I dream of dreams.


-Me.

  2. This is true. But in the last 50 years people have become a LOT more tolerant. Racism isn't nearly as public as it once was.
