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
