Seven Social Sins

Mahatma Gandhi enlightened his world like few others in the
modern age. Philosopher, sage, nonviolent activist, lawyer, revolutionary,
and a guiding spiritual light - Gandhi was all of these
things.

Near the end of his life he spoke of Seven Social Sins that, if left
unchallenged, would lead the world into ever-increasing cycles
of violence. Gandhi made clear where he worried the future was
headed. Knowledge would be sought exclusively in its own right,
as would a shallow religion, a hollowed-out capitalism, a political
structure with no moral compass, or an unfettered science removed
from its human dimension. He sought to highlight what
other capacities would need to be joined to the predominant
themes to keep them balanced and helpful to the human race.
