Lets us remember Gandhi

Today is Gandhi's vardhanthi. I thought I should write something about him and his sayings this point of time. I pray that we should recollect his sincere efforts for the cause of India and his leadership abilities to drive us in a non violent path. "Poverty is the worst form of violence. – Mahatma Gandhi". I thought of penning down some of my thoughts as a reflection of his words and efforts in the current situation. Poverty is always talked and every one tries to gives us lengthy lectures and prologues. I have recently watched a telugu movie and I found one of its dialogues about the poverty is fascinating. Poverty is talked by everyone..those who talk about the poverty and those who write about poverty got rich. Those people have never changed the lives of people struck in the poverty. I found that its not harmful to belabour about the poor but it is unjust for us to leave this issue unresolved. We have the religious scriptures which would reiterate the same thing..that share what you have in excess with you. But, people are really smart enough to find the ways to satisfy their minds what is the real excess!! So, does that gives an analogy between the two statements that..Excessive greed for the money and not helping poor equates to the worst form of the violence..Jess..what a wonderful analogy!! Right it is..
Physically hurting someone and abusing others is not only the form of a violence..Not sharing the wealth you accumulated among the poor is also a dangerous form of violence.

Okay, agreed. What we need to do now? At least people should remember and recollect Gandhi's sayings and open up heart fully to help some one in need. Think twice before spending 20-30 bucks in a weekend party. They might buy bread for the whole month in a third world poverty struck areas. United we can achieve this goal of eradicating the poverty. Let us fulfill the dreams of Gandhi who had given up his life for his people. Please support the Haiti relief fund with a valid nonprofit organization and help the victims.
