><))o>Quotations..
#with so many violence and sufferings going around since the stone age till sadly, the present, civilised age which we live in, i thought it would be good to take a look at some quotations made by Mahatma Gandhi and reflect upon myself, the society and the world today...if you have any comments or thoughts you want to share about the quotes, do not hesitate to leave a message at my tagboard =)
On violence : True non-violence is mightier than the mightiest violence. -Mahatma Gandhi
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it? Will it restore him [her] to a control over his [her] own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions?
Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
- One of the last notes left behind by Gandhi in 1948, expressing his deepest social thought.
#lastest news: I just heard this from the 10pm news...its about the prosecution of one of the American soldiers who abused the Iraqi prisoner...the soldier has received a maximum sentence of 1 year jail term and stripped off of his post...MAXIMUM SENTENCE?!?! In my opinion, i think that's not enough to redeem whatever he had done and the consequences of his actions (the nick berg murder!)..is Bush and his cabinet serious about solving the problem of prisoner abuse? I highly doubt so!
