I really believe everyone has their thing. I would die to keep trees from being wiped off the face of the Earth, or to permanently free the world from nuclear weapons. Or to protect another member of my family.
This is how I read King’s quote. Not as “You piece of shit! You won’t die for the cause?” But more as “if you really don’t see anything world dying for in this world, you must not be looking, because it doesn’t take much to find something.”
