Am I Willing to Speak Up?

     Am I willing to speak up about things that matter? About lies that lead people into conspiracy theories that can lead to anger and sometimes violence?
     But how should I speak up?
      “Time is cluttered with the wreckage of communities which surrendered to hatred and violence,” Martin Luther King Jr. said. “For the salvation of our nation and the salvation of mankind, we must follow another way.”
     King resisted the temptation to fan the flames of anger with more inflammatory language. Instead, he combined truth with love. Am I willing to speak up that way?
​     That’s a lot harder.
