7 blunders

Mohandas Gandhi compiled a list he called “The Seven Blunders of the World”. Now granted, the seventh item on the list is pretty universal; but I think we are heading down the wrong road because too many of the other items on this list are also true of our country today:

1. Wealth without work.

2. Pleasure with conscience.

3. Knowledge without character.

4. Commerce without morality.

5. Science without humanity.

6. Worship without sacrifice.

7. Politics without principle.
