Yesterday I went on a walk with my brother around campus. He was asking me about the structure below and I told him I didn't really know anything about it.
As we started walking around it, I noticed there were quotes engraved all around it. Every cement bench had a quote and then the structure itseslf was covered in quotes. They were mostly about injustice and coming together as a society. This makes sense since it is the Martin Luther King Jr (MLK) Commons.
"NOW THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD IS UPON US AND WE MUST
EITHER LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER AS BROTHERS OR
WE ARE ALL GOING TO PERISH TOGETHER AS FOOLS."
EITHER LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER AS BROTHERS OR
WE ARE ALL GOING TO PERISH TOGETHER AS FOOLS."
"HATRED PARALYZES LIFE, LOVE RELEASES IT, HATRED
CONFUSES LIFE, LOVER HARMINIZES IT, HATRED
DARKENS LIFE, LOVE ILLUMINES IT."
I guess this teaches us that there is beauty and inspriation everywhere. We just have to take the time to look for it and notice the details.
