Blog 1: words over violence

Mahatma Gandhi

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

I chose Mahatma Gandhi as an inspirational man because he is an example, as a leader, to everyone and to his people that we can fight without violence. He used his voice by speaking softly instead of fighting violently. Gandhi fought with intelligence and used his wise words to spark revolution, inspiring many individuals. He led India’s Independence movement in the 1930s and 40s facing down the British colonialists with non-violent protest. He is an inspiration to the Indians until now for what he has done to the country and moved a lot of people around the world with his speech. Now, his speech are now quotes that are used to teach a lesson and to learn from for the youth. Furthermore, Gandhi possessed qualities such as leadership, simplicity and bravery. Leadership was one of Gandhi’s heroic qualities by encouraging people as well as not staining his hands to fight. For me, Gandhi qualifies as an inspirational man as he is an unforgettable role model who is known for changing the world in to a better place by his significant words and he inspires people in our generation, which is why he remains to be one of the inspirational men around the world. And that inspires me to do good things despite all the cruelty in this world, to remain calm and use my voice to speak the truth and to defend myself from others. As Ghandi said, “Hate the sin, love the sinner.”
