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,character, 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! |

GANDHI WAS A WIZARD. HE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST VISIONARIES THE WORLD HAS EVER HAD. HATS OFF TO HIM. IT IS A PITY THAT WE HAVE FORGOTTEN HIS TEACHINGS BUT USE HIM TO GAIN POLITICAL MILEAGE. |

Though partially I agree with you, but still it boils down to the person, his upbringing, integrity and character. Its good to bring out these things atleast some people might change. |

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? |
