An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it
-- Mahatma Gandhi (October 2, 1869 - January 30, 1948)

It’s a shame that such people don’t exist! And more so that we don’t follow him!

ReplyDeletePoliticos need to learn a lot from him, especially those values of sincerity, truth and calm!
I read his autobiography – My Experiments with Truth, in the year 1993 while in class IX and it has left a very impressive mark on my mind and self!

ReplyDeleteWho stops you Rak?
and are you speaking for me too??
I can't say I follow him through and through...but then if you ask me..I am a Communist with a Gandhian outlook...especially, violence -- not my cup of tea,

devika
ha! suddenly i feel like laughing at myself Rak....
ReplyDeleteMy talks about myself is so insignificant Rak...
You need to be out there in Kerala to know the links...politics, business, God men/women...and the infamous "quotation" teams...making it a hell of a place...yet, an average life seems peaceful and people aren't too bothered,

ReplyDeleteWell yes - I know how sickening a scene it is in Kerala now! What once was a model state has now become tattered in corruption and chaos, not to mention the socio-political balance that has been long upset!
Thankfully, life goes on well without much to consider!
Well, lets hope that alls gonna be well soon!
