Thought for the day: challenge and controversy


"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.":
 
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), US civil rights leader

  1. Such distilled wisdoms are largely meant for the educated and the middle-class and rich segments of society. For the majority poor the world over, the demand to face up to challenge and controversy will ring hollow. Theirs will inevitably be a life of suffering and pain for years to bear.
