"Seven Blunders of the World"
1. Wealth without work
2. Pleasure without conscience
3. Knowledge without character
4. Commerce without morality
5. Science without humanity
6. Worship without sacrifice
7. Politics without principle
—Mahatma Gandhi
8. Rights without responsibilities
—Arun Gandhi
9. Disagreement without cause

* Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2 October 1869 in Porbandar,
India. He led India's movement for independence from British rule and is one
of the most respected spiritual and political leaders of the 20th century. In 1948,
he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic who opposed his tolerance for all creeds
and religions. Gandhi is honoured by his people as the father of the Indian nation
and is called 'Mahatma', which means Great Soul.
Imagine the image of an elder man sitting next to his grandson trying to teach him
the canon to a peaceful life everyday for an hour during the final days of his life.
What a gift to Arun, the grandson and such a dedication of Gandhi to teach and to
share his knowledge!
Arun added an eight blunder to the list of his grandfather. Now our challenge is to
avoid committing the above-cited blunders while adding some of our own to the
list. I added mine, can you add yours?
”An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.” Mohandas Gandhi.
