Congratulations on a great video of the Martin Luther King Building Bridges event. In my opinion it is appropriate to recognize great leaders such MLK, Gandhi and others including some who are widely remembered for religious reasons such as Buddha, Christ and Muhammad. It is also important to remember, think about and live basic human values these leaders have preached and taught. Values such as love for each other, helping one another (especially those unfortunate human beings who are clearly visible in our midst), being charitable not only in material ways but also in our thoughts, are even more critical and supersede the justice we often seek. Some use excuses disguised as values to argue against the provision of such help, such as "Unfortunate persons should become responsible for their actions". Whereas assuming such responsibility is important, many such persons need our help to assume the responsibility they may have shed. Some preach “God helps those who help themselves” although such argument holds no validity when one sees unfortunate victims of accidents and natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. So let us remember daily in our personal lives, our core human values of love, charity, understanding and true, not token forgiveness among each other as we pay respects to leaders such as MLK and others who reinforced these values to us through their teachings. Thanks for reading.
