Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Knowledge without character
Commerce without morality
Science without humanity
Worship without sacrifice
Politics without principle
Rights without responsibilities
[Arun Gandhi]
This list grew from Gandhi’s search for the roots of violence. He called these acts of passive violence. Preventing these is the best way to prevent oneself or one’s society from reaching a point of violence.

Re: Blunders of the World
The appeal to celebrity is a logical fallacy! Something isn't more and less right because some famous person said it. I'm not even sure why Arun Gandhi is even relevant, in anything. What has he done, aside being the grandson of famous person?
As a general rule, I disagree and object to Gandhi, Mohandas, being used as any sort of moral compass. This is a guy that slept naked with very young girls to prove his chastity and his control over his libido. That's abuse!
As for politics without principles, Gandhi, Nehru, and Jinnah were fabulous practitioners of this. We needed technocrats, not people concerned with their cults of personality. Their principles gave us more than a million dead and half a century of needless violence.

Politics without principle
That's what all the pakistani politicians practice!
