Mahatma Gandhi, on the final day he spent with his grandson Arun, penned this list of “The Seven Blunders of the World.” I find them insightful. And very relevant. Though Gandhi compiled the seven over half a century ago, modern day examples aren’t hard to come by.
The seven blunders are:
- Wealth without work
- Pleasure without conscience
- Knowledge without character
- Commerce without morality
- Science without humanity
- Worship without sacrifice
- Politics without principle
(Note: Credit for bringing the list to my attention goes to Margaret Feinberg who posted these a couple of weeks ago. We haven’t met, but it turns out we share several friends…one turned me on to her blog at www.margaretfeinberg.com.)
