"The Roots of Violence...


12.14.12


wealth without work, 
pleasure without conscience, 
knowledge without character, 
commerce without morality, 
science without humanity, 
worship without sacrifice, 
politics without principles."

    This words reminds of Gandhi's assassination. These are the the last words of Gandhi his grandson, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, shortly before his assassination. It is called "Seven Blunders of the World".

    Kimberly -

    Thanks for stopping by!

    I did more research after reading your comment - it turns out that Gandhi's grandson added one more "blunder" to his grandfather's list...

    Rights without responsibilities.

    That gave me chills when I read it - how applicable to the issue of gun safety.
