The very first paragraph was my favorite part. I had to read it over a couple times to fully understand he was just naming opposite things. But there was just something about it I really liked. Then is the part of how so many people fall short to propaganda. It is so true when you pick up a magazine and read the cover of something going on in some celebrities life and immeadiate reaction is either oh my gosh I cannot believe this or this is full of crap. I used to be sort of still am one of those people that believes in a good bit of what I read, but not all the time. I have gotten better because my boyfriends cousin actually works for MTV an she has said to me I cannot believe you read/believe that crap its complete lies. She has said it does stem off of a tiny bit off truth but the majority is blown out of proportion to get you to read it.
I agree that more people need to have a tough mind but a tender heart. To be able to think for yourself and not to to back down, be cowardly, or stay oppressed. But at the same time know to have the compassion and understanding at the same time. MLK is so right there are so many people out that can sometimes only be either or. I feel i fit into the category of only being able to truly only be one depending on the situation because I know there are times when I am tough minded all around and let whoever needs to know my point, but do not show my tenderheart and it goes for the opposite way around.
