The Seven Social Sins

Mahatma Gandhi enlightened his world like few others in the modern age. Philosopher sage nonviolent activist lawyer revolutionary and a guiding spiritual light - Gandhi was all of these things. Near the end of his life he spoke of Seven Social Sins that if left unchallenged would lead the world into ever-increasing cycles of violence. Gandhi made clear where he worried the future was headed. Knowledge would be sought exclusively in its own right as would a shallow religion a hollowed-out capitalism a political structure with no moral compass or an unfettered science removed from its human dimension. He sought to highlight what other capacities would need to be joined to the predominant themes to keep them balanced and helpful to the human race.
