Sobering words

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

I’ve been thinking about this statement a lot since I first read it a few days ago.  I think what King is saying is this: don’t measure a man when everything in his life is wonderful; measure a man when everything in his life seems to be going against him.  It is in these situations that you see the character of that man.
