I was searching for some information on the internet the other day and happened across Mohandas Gandi’s Seven Social Sins. After I read them I was struck by how totally appropriate they are for our current social/cultural/political world situation.
So I’m posting them here, as food for thought by all of us.
Seven Social Sins
Politics without Principles
Wealth without Work
Pleasure without Conscience
Knowledge without Character
Commerce without Morality
Science without Humanity
Worship without Sacrifice
from Young India (22 Oct 1925) Collected works of Mahatma Gandi Vol. 33 (PDF) p. 133
This is a great list to carry around whenever I need a nudge of what is important in life. I especially like Science without Humanity because science tends to do things without asking if it’s right to do it. Thanks for this.
That appealed to me as well. Thanks for visiting my blog.
