Mahatma Gandhi listed Seven Deadly Social Sins that he considered to be most spiritually damaging to humanity. This list is more relevant today than when he wrote it more than a half century ago, don't you think?
Here's the sins he identified as most heinous:
Politics without principle.
Commerce without morality.
Science without humanity.
Knowledge without character.
Wealth without work.
Pleasure without conscience.
Worship without sacrifice.
Adequate substance for a Sunday reflection.
Hi Larry,
ReplyDeleteI love the wisdom in these 7 short sentences. It is powerful. Thanks for sharing.
I have read your blog for some time, and although I rarely leave comments, I do appreciate your writing and am encouraged by the work being done at CDM. I'm sure it is not easy to write quality blog posts everyday.
I also wanted to ask though if you all had a partner organization in Chicago or perhaps a specific non-profit you would recommend working with. My wife and I recently moved here and we're interested in finding a place to serve.
Thanks!
