Updating from school today, seeing as I have a little time left in musicianship. 90 minutes ago I watched an amazing documentary on M.L.K in english class (Made by MTV, I'm pretty sure it's on YouTube somewhere). Through watching it, and being quite amazed at both the film making and the actual story of Dr. King himself, it has struck me that humanity is composed of sacrifice and devotion toward a single idea which in the long run is proven right, after being scorned for so many years. Take Dr. King himself, a perfect example of a man who stood for equality and indeed is a prime symbol of selflessness. A man who sacrificed his family, his morals and overall, his life for a single idea. This makes me wonder, have we as a society become so infested with evil that these tradgedies must occur to spark a wave of justice and what is right? The fact that any man should die at an age of thirty eight, is simply unjust, and adding more to this is the fact that he died for a civil cause. The answer to my previous question, is yes. Somewhere along the line man has lost his sense of teamwork, and since then has developed a sense of individuality. However, this sense has created man to forget our homosapien brotherhood, and hence developed his sense of supremecy. Those who follow the "individual" please him, and therefore through emulation, a superficial brotherhood is formed. The brotherhood of whites, the brotherhood of blacks. We have all become so nationalistic of our "races", that we forget the "brotherhood" part. Hence, we loose our family morals and have become biggoted twoard our homosapien brotherhood. This is where tragedy comes into play. Must an innocent man who believed in nothing but good die to prove something we should have known many millenia ago?
The world will never change, and hence we must have faith in tradgedy to eliminate evil.
