About this Quote

This quote by Martin Luther King Jr. talks to the value of having a purpose in life. It recommends that if an individual has not discovered something that they are enthusiastic about and happy to fight for, then they are not living a significant life. It suggests that having a cause to eliminate for is necessary to living a fulfilling life. It is a call to action for people to find something that they are enthusiastic about and to fight for it. It is a reminder that life is too brief to not have a function and to not stand up for what you think in. It is a suggestion that life is precious and must be coped with enthusiasm and purpose. It is a pointer that life is too short to not make a distinction and to not defend what you think in.
