590 AD, Pope Gregory I Announced the list Seven fatal sins -It is a way to keep your desires, gluttony, greed, sloth, angry, en hope, pride -the flocks from getting lost in the disrespectful and troublesome fields. But recently, for everyone except the Pope’s Gregory list, the Pope’s Gregory list seems to be more moral action than the explanation of the cable TV program.
Instead, let’s take a look at one of the 20th century saints –Machtma Gandhi。 On October 22, 1925, Gandhi released a list he called. Seven social sins In his weekly newspaper Young India。
- Politics without principle.
- Wealth without work.
- A joy without conscience.
- Knowledge without a character.
- Commercial without morality.
- Science without humanity.
- Worship without sacrifice.
This list came from communication with people who were only identified as “fair friends”. He published a list without comments on the next line. “Of course, friends don’t want to know these things through intelligence, but don’t want to know them through their heart to avoid them.”
Unlike the Catholic Church list, Gandhi’s list clearly focuses on personal actions in society. Gandhi preaches non -violence and mutual dependence, and all of these sins are self -ism examples of winning common interests.
If it is completely absorbed, it will be a list of people at the US Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Ayn Rand Institute ITCH. After all, “wealthy wealth” is a fairly accurate explanation of 1 % of the United States. (Investment is not successful. Ask Thomas Picketti.) “Commerce without morals” is very similar to all oil companies there, and “Knowledge without characters” is half of cable news hacks. Is explained. “Private politics” explains the other half.
In 1947, Gandhi gave the fifth grandchild Arun Gandhi a paper slip with this same list and contained “seven blunt instruments that commit human society and cause all violence.” I said. The next day, Arun returned to his home in South Africa. Three months later, Gandhi was shot killed by Hindu militants.
