the 7 blunders

The seven blunders of the world was a list Mahatma Gandhi reportedly gave to his grandson Arun Gandhi, written on a piece of paper, on their final day together, not too long before his assassination. In his final years, the elder Gandhi kept his grandson close at hand and set aside an hour everyday to be alone with the boy.


1 WEALTH WITHOUT WORK


2. PLEASURE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE


3. KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT CHARACTER


4. COMMERCE WITHOUT MORALITY


5. SCIENCE WITHOUT HUMANITY


6 WORSHIP WITHOUT SACRIFICE


7. POLITICS WITHOUT PRINCIPLE


makes a lot of sense, don't they? how many of the above do you think apply to our country?
