Help me to see two sentences

“Somewhere we must come to see that social progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals; and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. So we must help time. We must realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”
--Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The sentence is, perhaps, a bit overladen with metaphor (with apologies to Dr. King). If you strip it to its fundamental meaning you can rephrase it thus: "We must understand that social progress in not inevitable."
