I attended another graduation ceremony this morning. As I sat listening to the speeches, I thought how most commencement speeches could begin and end with lessons tied to what Mahatma Gandhi called the seven deadly sins.
Wealth without work ...
Pleasure without conscience ...
Knowledge without character ...
Commerce without morality ...
Science without humanity ...
Worship without sacrifice ...
Politics without principles ...
According to Gandhi most of the destruction and violence in society today are a product of humanity committing these seven deadly sins over and over again.
Kind of hard to disagree.
