Years ago, I read about Ghandi's list of Seven Blunders of the World that lead to violence. On their final day together, not too long before his assassination, Gandhi gave this important list to his grandson Arun Gandhi. Here is Gandhi's list, including an 8th 'blunder' added by Arun Gandhi:
Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Knowledge without character
Commerce without morality
Science without humanity
Worship without sacrifice
Politics without principle
Rights without responsibilities
The western world sure seems to have embraced every one of the blunders for the past 30 years.
