Restore Your Belief in Humanity with these Powerful Quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Other than leading India from the front during her battle for Independence, Mahatma Gandhi played a vital role as an ideological reformist.
He practiced and preached the fundamentals of humanity, which are so inspirational that his firm belief in humanity and its beauty will sweep you off your feet.
We’re witnessing a crucial stage right now. Humanity has gone scarce, crimes are being committed in the most gruesome ways, capitalism, although great for the deep pockets, is proving detrimental for marginal sections of our society.
Where are we headed to? What’s the fate of humanity going to be? None of us can answer that.
Though what we can do is remind ourselves what humanity once stood for and try to see humanity through the ideas of the great Mahatma Gandhi.
Let’s dive right into the 20th century then!
1. Never Lose Hope in Humanity
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.”
Humanity, although is eternally beautiful, same cannot be said for humans. Some of us indulge in crimes that bring shame to humanity, but that strictly doesn’t mean it’s an end to humanity.
In fact, one’s belief in humanity should be firm enough to understand that it’s a perpetual phenomenon; a few minor glitches aren’t going to harm its entirety.
2. Be Humane, There’s No Scarcity of Humans!
“The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.”
Being a human being is no miracle, but being humane surely is! To uphold the holy principles of humanity in today’s world is a great service to mankind.
Be just in your actions, treat women with respect, discredit racism, and do everything else that is humane. That’s, in fact, the only viable way to restore our hope in humanity.
3. Each Human Life Counts!
“Every murder or other injury, no matter for what cause, committed or inflicted on another is a crime against humanity.”
Harming any human being irrespective of what he or she has done is still a crime against humanity. It’s because at the end of the day we’re all humans at the core, our belief in humanity is universally the same.
Everyone deserves a chance at redemption, no matter the past. That’s why Mahatma Gandhi never approved of the death penalty to any criminal.
4. Humanity is a One Way Street Leading to Love
