“True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.” -Rev. Martin Luther King (from his “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence” speech delivered April 4th, 1967)
How do we come to see this need (for restructuring – of every edifice that produces beggars)?
Especially since we self-construct an edifice that makes beggars of each of us?
Great teaching from Martin Luther King, Jr. Thank you for posting it!
