Okay, so I'm a little late for MLK Day. But I've been thinking a lot about what my dream for the future is, idealistic as it may sound:
I have a dream that one day every person will understand how inextricably bound he or she is to everyone else who ever has or ever will walk this earth. On that day, no one will see problems as "women's issues" or "men's issues", as "black issues" or "white issues", as "Hispanic issues" or "Asian issues." Instead, everyone will recognize injustices for what they are and stand up to change them. And then no one will be left out of society any longer. No individual will go to bed hungry, or without having accessed necessarily medical treatment, or without having a safe place to sleep. No one will be made to feel like they are unimportant, whether it's by neighbors, school boards, government officials, or church officials. Everyone will only see each other as lovable, and themselves as loved.
