Martin Luther King's Beliefs
Dr King’s Beliefs A true man in nature is considered one who can drive through challenging and controversial times. Martin Luther King Jr. had once stated, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy.” I believed that I was once a true man. But after hearing the quote by Dr. King, I have found out that I do not have the ability of a man. I have often broken down in critical situations throughout life. As biased as Luther’s quote sounds, it seems to true to be as of today. A powerful worldwide known figure Hitler was thought of as one of the most fearless and brave leader of all time. He possessed all attention, power, and confidence
during his reign. People viewed him as a invincible leader who possessed no fear what so ever. But as he slowly starts to lose his power, every bit of his bravery and confidence collapse. Certainly he is unable to handle the pressure of the Soviets march towards Germany. The once great figure leaves his loyal figures in despair by committing suicide. Such an act by Hitler has caused confusion in the definition of a man. Obviously Hitler wasn’t a man promising his country back it’s pride, but end up leaving the millions he promised in betrayal.
When looking at a true “man” like Martin Luther King Jr., he does what it takes to become a man. During the 20th century in Northern America, the civil rights movement is considered one of the most world changing movements. At the time of 1954 when racism was at its peak, all African Americans were segregated in terms of rights and view. Many were afraid to defend their rights as African Americans. Dr. King undeniably one of the most prominent African American civil rights leader eventually stepped up for his people’s rights. He fought day and night through discrimination, ambushes, and protests in order to attain equality in society. In the end he risks his own life for the African American society to gain its equality in America.
As simple as one can call his or herself a man is truly easy. But to actually be a true “man” requires the brave and fearless act that many do not possess. To endure such pain during difficult times to create a better for others as for the case of Dr. King, shall deserve to be called man. A man is like a hero, one doesn’t give up and keeps fighting.
