The Tao of Jim

Here's a thought from 1963...

I Have A Dream

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

You can find the whole speech at Mecca.org.

Just a thought...

    Jim, I had forgotten the beauty and majesty of that speech. Thanks for reminding me that the content of ones character is the most important factor in how we shoudl live our lives.
