The Butterfly Effect is a component of Chaos Theory. A butterfly flaps its wings in a far away place creating tiny ripples that begin a flow of cause and effect energy that eventually creates a hurricane force wind. These tiny ripples, seemingly irrelevant can precipitate and contribute to a major event. The right set of factors comes together and a major event takes place. Can the humble service of an single person create a butterfly effect?
Last year President Obama designated Martin Luther King Day as a day of service. It seems a fitting designation for a day dedicated to a man who lived a life in service to others and willingly gave that life to realize his ideals. MLK, Jr. offered his life to the struggle for civil rights to protect the human dignity of all people. There is no higher calling for citizens of a democratic republic. Civil rights and the protection of human dignity is the foundation of a democratic society. Equal protection under the law for all citizens and unfettered access to all its rights and privileges are the surest safeguard of a peoples security and liberty. MLK, Jr. perished in the struggle to enlarge and protect that liberty for all people regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, creed or color. It is the responsibility of all citizens to place themselves in service to protect and enlarge the dream of liberty and freedom. A failure to assume this responsibility risks failure of our democratic culture and the relinquishment of personal liberty.
