A boy with a balloon was sobbing sadly at a corner of a street.
" Why are you so sad?"
" It is about my balloon."
" What is wrong with your balloon?"
" My friend Jonny got a white balloon, Jenny got a white balloon, Matt got a yellow balloon. Yet, I get a black balloon. I am afraid that the balloon won't fly."
" Do you have helium gas inside the balloon?"
" Yes. But my balloon is black."
" Why don't you release the balloon, to see if it will fly or not."
The boy releases the balloon, and surely, the balloon flies to the sky. The boy smiles.
" It is what 'inside' determines whether the balloon will fly or not, not the color of the balloon"
A tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who said that it is the " character" not the skin color that should determines the destination of a person.
