Voting Day by rosiekerr

Voting Day

Many of us cast ballots in the US today, mostly for local elections. As I was walking to the polling place, I saw this flag reflecting in someone's front door.

In this difficult and divided time, I was reminded of Robert Kennedy's compassionate words, delivered upon the death of the Rev. Martin Luther King. It's only a few minutes long and worthy of your attention.

Sad to say, his words are still as relevant today as they were then, but I guess struggle defines what it means to be human. After all, he quotes Aeschylus. :)

Thanks for taking time to visit.
That's quite an image you've spotted and captured. I listened to the link (thank you for including it) and I wondered -- will we be repeating these thoughts in another 50 years? @domenicododaro -- what we talked about today.

A beautiful image to convey the feeling. @jyokota yes! Without knowing, we were quoting Robert Kennedy and Aeschylus. It really must be the human nature...

Great spot and edit. Unfortunately I suspect things won't change very quickly but hopefully they will eventually change for the better. Fav

This is a fantastic picture and the speech is very powerful. It's a shame that it is as relevant today as it was then.

Poignant, timely, and it should simply be history, not our current lives.
