52. Ghandi asked his followers to practice non violent protest.

Sep 2016

In doing so many gave their lives in standing up to the British Empire and being slaughtered in a peacefull rebellion.

This was something that bothered him his whole life and the reason he eventually resorted to personal hunger strikes to make a stand.

Ghandi also preached that sometimes it takes bad to create harmony and vice versa.

It's a big picture concept and when one realizes we are all cogs in the wheel of progress, be it good or evil we are all moving in the same direction as one.

I hope this helps you understand where I am coming from.
