MAHATMA MOHANDAS GANDHI

was an activist against violence.
What did he do to stop violence?
Starve himself.

I see that as attracting attention to oneself.
I find it strange how he was able to stop the violence by doing that.
And starving himself is just stupid.
There are people in Africa who are starving. They are starving because they do not have food to eat.
Mohandas Gandhi was given food, but he refused to eat it.
Honestly, that's not being grateful for what you have, is it.
That's a pretty childish thing to do.
Having lived in South Africa, I think he should know better, seeing the people on the streets starving. But then again, he didn't really like the African race. He believed the white race was the most superior race.

"Be the change you want to see in the world" was what he said. That's hypocritical considering he starved himself when he had food, does he want to see everyone in the world starving themselves so they can get attention and get what they want.
Like 2 year olds, they cry, attracting attention to themselves so they can get whatever they please.

I believe you have to do something bold to change the world, you have to step away from your comforts, step away from attracting attention to yourself. Be modest, be humble. "Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity." (quote by Frank Leahy)

Anyway who am I to say, I haven't done anything. People don't know who I am, lots of people dislike me.
Mohandas Gandhi, on the other hand, at least, most people think that he's done something good for the world.
