Gandhi's "Seven Blunders of the World" That Lead to Violence

 

The Seven Blunders of the World is a list that Mahatma Gandhi gave to his grandson Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, not too long before his assassination. In his final years, the elder Gandhi kept his grandson close at hand and set aside an hour every day to be alone with the boy.  

 

 

Blunders of the World

Wealth without work

Pleasure without conscience

Knowledge without character

Commerce without morality

Science without humanity

Worship without sacrifice

Politics without principle
Rights without responsibilities [Arun Gandhi]

 

 

This list grew from Gandhi's search for the roots of violence. He called these acts of passive violence. Preventing these is the best way to prevent oneself or one's society from reaching a point of violence.

Some ideas like this comes in the "Dialogue among Civilizations" theory as a idea to push toward the global peace, by Mr. Khatami, former president of IRAN.

Why does one always agree to whatever is thrown out to us- and that without Question? People are not flocks of sheep! We have a mind to think for ourselvs.. and I'd like to comment on this:
Work, COnscience, morality, humanity,charac ter, sacrifice, and principles, are all perceptions.. They are NOT Quantifiable..
Question everything thats said to you.. so in other words, I do not see how we can in one chorus say- what GREAT INSIGHT Gandhi had.. (I'm NOT casting doubts on Gandhi's greatness) BUT I am saying please don't chorus! Sounds YUCK!

indian society at large calls him Father of The Nation.
what percentage thinks and implements his sermons as
life goal? why inspite of numerous sermons by politicians-religious leaders-social activists-and others none implements them? if they are not relevent why not forget them?

Talking about these blunders, ultimately leading to violence, one has assess one's own actions falling in these issues and take corrective action if we really want a peaceful world.
I would like to add one more:
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY WITHOUT COUNTERCHECK.

Wht gandhi says means squat, coz remember he was assasinated, real world has all da bad things n like all bad things they r interesting or mandatory. Remember we r this way becoz it is natural. Gandhi was one as anna hazare, assoles r many. depressing but true. Only hope is god n he is silent (hope he announces himself atleast it will settle which religion to follow). life sucks n hardly anyone of us is going to reach heaven (sucks if u r atheist coz no life after death. GOD made a mistake, not really, but testing us this way certainly sucks. i am so weak.............
