Martin Luther King

We're afraid and discouraged, we're feeling impotent, someone is also becoming indifferent because he thought that making peace a reality it's by now impossible and that it's not one of his duty. But it's not right!! We must realize that peace can't be made only by the powerful but that we are ALL being called to build a better world. We know it's not easy, but we must try. Even Martin Luther King, who gave his lite far peace and freedom, had his bad times and his doubts about peace, freedom and most of all about non-violence.
King explained this in Stride Toward Freedom, "Prior to reading Gandhi, I had about concluded that the ethics of Jesus were only effective in individual relationships. The 'turn the other cheek' philosophy and 'love your enemies' philosophy were only valid, I felt, when individuals were in conflict with other individuals. When racial groups and nations were in conflict a more realistic approach seemed necessary. But after reading Gandhi, I saw how utterly mistaken I was."
Through his intellectual pursuits, his experiences in Montgomery and his travels to India in 1959, King came to see nonviolence as both the philosophical and theological basis of his commitment to social change.
King urged blacks to commit to a life of nonviolence. However, if this could not be achieved, he encouraged them to at least see the power of nonviolent resistance as a tactical weapon against racism and discrimination in America. King stressed that meeting violence with more violence would not result in justice and equality, but would merely produce more violence. He believed nonviolence to be, "the only morally and practically sound method open to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom."
I completely agree with him and his famous DREAM it's also my dream!!
