Seven Social Sins
Quoted by
Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi
has born at 1869 in Gujarat, Indies. He is one
of revolutionary in Indies to make freedom to Indies.
He always spoke about “The Brotherhood of Man”. At 1948 Mahatma Gandhi was
passing a way, one of fanatic Hinduism killed him in house of worship.
I want to tell
you about one of Gandhi’s quotes and to compare about hot news in our country, Indonesia.
- Politics without principles
Do you know about “money politic”? I think it is one of many examples about
politic reality in our country. They are always using any way to take
destination, do not weigh bad or good. It is example about Politics without
principles.
- Wealth without work
Many people in our country want to be billionaire, but they are not to do
hard work. My opinion about it is “opportunist mindset”. It is not good for our
life.
- Pleasure without conscience
All people always make their life be happy by pleasure, but there are
some people do it not consider about conscience. For example free sex, doing
criminal and etc.
- Knowledge without character
Still remember in my mind, many medical students to be in Gajah Mada
University does mass
jockey. It is one of case about knowledge without character.
- Commerce without morality
You know about Formalin? Yeah, it is for human corpse, but in Indonesia
does it for food or meal. Entrepreneur always do profit oriented, but not weigh
about healthy.
- Science without humanity
Corruptions are example about science without humanity, because
corruptors are scholarly people, but they are having not humanity.
- Worship without sacrifice
All of religions learned about sacrifice. For example Islamic had learned
give alms, fasting and etc. but many people can not do it. Other example, many
people was “Haji” (pilgrimage to Mecca), but they do corruptions.
All of these
case, I think the big problems is “Pragmatic mindset”. Pragmatic mindset is
solving problems in a sensible and practical way.
