You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you afraid...You refuse to do it because you want to live longer..... Youre afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or youre afraid that someone will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house; so you refuse to take the stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90. And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit. - Martin Luther King Jnr. To the so many who just live because they are afraid..... you are probably dead already anyway, dead in the spirit..... I just read this quote sent to me by Yofi Grant . It resonated strongly with me not only in light of KDs departure and what he stood for but because MLKs point is spot on. May we make an indelible dent in the sands of time because we made a difference in our societies. Dont be dead in spirit; the spirit is life
