"We must become the change we want to see "
" It is not literature, nor the vast knowledge that makes the man, but his education to real life. How important was that we were tombs of science, if he did not know live in brotherhood with our neighbors? "
Every time I think of Gandhi seems almost impossible that his stories are true!
But imagine Gandhi: the tortured, beaten, arrested, humiliated in every possible way and not only him, all his people, and how did you react?
He took a knife and started to avenge all the wrongs suffered killing British? No, not even raised weapon and non-violently through strikes, rallies and marches has disobeyed everything he ordered the English!
latter asked: "Why does not react and give us an excuse to show it as a criminal and throw him in jail forever? Where do you want to get this insane?".
It was the most humiliated and became more powerful and unstoppable by example, hope and courage to his people to follow him in this fight.
They could not destroy the person who responded to hatred with love and managed to kick away an Empire from their land without firing a shot!
A man who had so much hope in mankind.
seems incredible but it's exactly what happened!
"Nonviolence in its dynamic condition means conscious suffering. It consists of a docile submission to the will of the wicked, but in contrast his soul to the will of the tyrant."
"Disobedience to be civil must be sincere, respectful, never defiant, must be based on some principle equated with clarity, not to be capricious and, above all, should not proceed from any ill will or hatred."
