Honoring A Dream
Today, we in America honor a dream. A dream of equality for all. That is something that lies at the heart of America, and it is one of the hardest things to live up to in our society. Often, true tolerance is masked by politics, by political correctness, and other factors. True tolerance is respecting the rights of all, and for all to respect the rights of others.
Others today are writing, or have written, far more eloquent posts about a man, about problems, and about the need for change. I simply remind you that in honoring Dr. King what we truly honor is the Dream. I ask you not to simply give it token thought today, but to live the heart and the soul. For if we live it in each of our lives, then the Dream will become reality. That will truly be the best tribute of all.
