seven blunders of the world

the following is a list of the Seven Blunders of the World, written by Mahatma Gandhi, given to his grandson Arun Gandhi, who added an eight Blunder:

• Wealth without work
• Pleasure without conscience
• Knowledge without character
• Commerce without morality
• Science without humanity
• Worship without sacrifice
• Politics without principle
• Rights without responsibility (added by Arun Gandhi)
  

Gandhi Senior called these 'acts of passive violence', and said that preventing these is the best way to prevent oneself or one's society from reaching a point of violence.

ironic that for all the raving and ranting and rioting about the physical wars and violence around the world, especially in the middle east, it is these very same 'blunders' that are destroying people
