What do you think MLK Jr. meant and how can we apply these words to TODAY? en-us 2021-01-22 14:26:30 UTC 2025-10-20 23:44:23 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1121771655 I Believe that Martin Luther King is trying to symbolize that no human is perfect. Inside each and every one of us there is good and bad. In order for us to understand one another we must try to not only have insight on them but forgive them for their mistakes as well. This can be shown when Martin Luther King says "When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies"forgiving in an important part of life. if one does not learn how to forgive they will carry a burden of the past that no longer serves them. People who learn to forgive are worthy of love in so many ways, for instance it could even bring people together. You can have love for yourself, for someone else, for your country, for your home, for your friends or for your society. Don't hate but forgive, It'll benefit you in the end.

He also sees the good in people and the evil. When  Martin Luther King Jr. said " 

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive". Which means he forgives people who make mistakes. Also people who learn to forgive people are worthy of love. In our society it is good to forgive people if they made a little mistake because think about how that person feels. People can love each other, their school, town, and do that for their society.

Everyone has some bad in their souls, but that doesn't mean they can't change. Sometimes, people act the way they do, because, of a problem at home, or are facing some other problem, and, should that be the case, people could help them. By acting aggressive to someone that they hate, they become worse than the person they hate. If we forgive the people who hate us, we may learn why they act the way they do, and could perhaps help them. MLK Jr. meant here that, for everything someone bad has done, people must remember that they have some bad in them as well, and that the person who they hate may have a good reason for their actions. These words can be applied to today, because, even now, people are bullied by others, but if they look beyond the persons rudeness, they may see that they are going through things through their lives, and that if the person that is being bullied forgives the bully for their actions and view of them, then the bully may stop being mean, and could become friends with the other person.]]> 2021-01-25 13:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1121776591 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1121777326 In this article I believe  that Martin Luther King Jr. didn't like the fact that people were showing hatred in ways being that he wanted America to be free from the segregation.  Another thing is that he said "He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love". Showing how thy who is willing to not go through the fight thy will be able to learn to end the fight. Reasoning towards how we had the Blacks Lives Matter movement towards trying to be able to show that everyone is equal and that reasoning towards segregation when blacks were separated from different things because where different from everybody else. Showed how Martin Luther King Jr. also said "When we discover this, we are prone to hate our enemies". He used the word prone in his speech making a claiming  that it meant that he was prone to anger showing how he was regretting the fact to forgive his many enemies and  to be able to change and move America to a better place in a way where he would be very successful by doing this. ]]> 2021-01-25 13:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1121777326 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1121782900 The quote by Martin Luther King Jr. shows that nobody is perfect. He states in the quote that, "There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us." Just in this one part of the quote alone I know that he is trying to show that nothing is perfect. You can try as hard as you want to be perfect but nobody is and everyone should just accept that. The more we forgive the more love we will have in the world. We shouldn't hate others for being who they are but instead love them and give second chances just like how in sports they never end with a tie because they give an extra chance for someone to win the game.]]> 2021-01-25 13:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1121782900 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1121787697 This quote is explaining to us that we should all forgive each other even if we hate each other. Martin Luther King, Jr., is correct saying "There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us." We are not all perfect and we tend to struggle together and hate each other. Martin Luther King, Jr. does not want us to act like this towards each other. An example of this can be with your family, with your friends or a relationship. Forgiving others makes them feel appreciated and loved because it shows how much you care. ]]> 2021-01-25 13:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1121787697 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122343391 I believe that Martin Luther King jr is trying to tell us the people that even if the person is the most evilest person they do not deserve to be treated different or even die . I understand what he's saying when he says that"  There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us." Like for an example the BML protest is to show that when George Floyd was not even showing any resistance and cooperating and they just took his life right then and there but also the protest at the capitol there is a huge difference their because between the bml protest and this. The bml protest was peaceful and they used gas and rubber bullets but when it becomes breaking into the capitol  nothing no force. That's not equally at all.

He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love." is explaining that we should forgive others and even forgive oneself in order to understand and not be overpowered by hatred and hatred alone. The quote also is explaining that if you don't forgive others then others won't forgive you and in the end you won't find people who love you and understand who you really are. Martin Luther King Jr, is trying to teach us to become one with people and have a better understanding on the good and bad side of people in order to truly understand the feeling of love and would truly be happy.]]> 2021-01-25 15:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122362272 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122641617 This quote “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”-Martin Luther King, Jr., reminds us, that to move forward and succeed, we need to forgive. Forgiving is not forgetting, but letting go of the past, the bad that had happened, giving them another chance, another opportunity. Being angry, feeling hatred can blind someone to the good, the deeper meaning. Just because someone of another race or background did something wrong once, does not mean everyone else like them is the same. This was a huge issue with segregation, and today in several different ways. We need to forgive and move forward, to feel better for ourselves, and others. And we need to realize that at the end of the day, we are all human, we all make mistakes, and we should all learn to forgive.]]> 2021-01-25 16:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122641617 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122649399 He says we need to forgive and like each other so we can grow.

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”-Martin Luther King, Jr. means to me that in order to truly love someone, you have to be willing to forgive them. Everyone messes up and everyone makes mistakes. What matters is how we move on AFTER those mistakes. In the 1920s, the KKK was in action. They were nativists (people born inside of the country they are living in) and they were against immigrants, using continuous violence. It is important to understand that even though what the KKK did was extremely cruel, immigrants and other KKK targets have to focus on forgiveness and love so that they can live a better life and move past conflicts. Even today, if we aren't willing to forgive our friends and family for a mistake they made, we are denying the power of love, because everyone (despite their mistakes) has good inside them.

In the best of us, there is a little good and bad, and in our rivals, there is a little good and evil, so we can stop hating and become one and get over the color of our skin and come together.]]> 2021-01-25 16:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122707087 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122945678 What Martin Luther King means is that we have to learn to forgive to love the ones around us. Forgiveness is the key to getting along with others and live in peace. Everyone has their ups and downs at points but if you only see one or the other, you won't truly know who they are. And if you can't do that, there may be things you don't like about them that cause you to hate them. Seeing what someone is truly like, forgiving them for what they've done is what makes true peace, it's what brings us together. Forgiveness is the key to love, the key to happiness, the key to love.]]> 2021-01-25 16:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122945678 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122950015 The quote “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.” means that no person is good or bad it is just a faze in our life. And if you don't forgive yourself or your enemies the faze could last for a very long time. When you can't forgive love will not prosper. When love cannot prosper you cannot be happy.]]> 2021-01-25 16:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122950015 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122951081 To me, this quotes means that we need to forgive people for their mistakes. I also think this is what MLK Jr. meant when he said this. He meant that we need the power to forgive our enemies so we are never holding a grudge against them and so we can love more. We can apply this to today's world by looking at racial tensions. Each side needs to forgive each other for their mistakes and move on so that the world can get along better.]]> 2021-01-25 16:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122951081 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122951752 The quote we must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”-Martin Luther King, Jr. What that quote means to me is he needs to forgive other people for their evil doings. This is very important for our society. MLK says there is always a good in our enemies. ]]> 2021-01-25 16:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122951752 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122953413 we should forgive each other so we can love each other like what we have to do now with the capitol and blm we must unite and forgive. and like the capitol there is some evil in us. ]]> 2021-01-25 16:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122953413 https://padlet.com/southingtonschools/4kftw94obs7bbnd6/wish/1122965077 What this quote means is there is good and bad in everyone, everyone has there flaws.

I think this is true because how can you have one without the other? And the second half of the quote speaks of the good and bad in all of us. What I think MLK Jr. is saying here is that when we can see each other as imperfect human beings and learn to forgive, that's when we can truly love one another.
