I just ran the New Dehli Half-Marathon and for sure that was the first and last time I'll do that.
Running with thousands of other people, struggling to get through the narrow gate at the start was a once in a life time experience. You see, Indian's in traffic and apparantly while running doesn't give a shit about running or driving in a straight line.
I got knocked by hundreds of people and one said, sorry, an Australian.
After the marathon I visited the Gandhi Museum again...and this lovely individual must be seen as a hero because I fully agree with his perspective on 'freedom' which is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
Beneath is some info about Gandhi....
When Gandhi preached for peace non-violence in the world and within the country of India he faced one problem. He was not able to unite the Muslim's and the Hindu's and therefore, he got shot by a hindu lunatic in 1948, 1 year after the self-independence of India.
The paradox was that Gandhi tried to ratify funds to Pakistan that made Hindu's believe that he was in favor of Muslim's and not Hindu's.
Gandhi on the other hand had no secrets and believed 'I am an open book with no secrets and I encourage no secrets'.
Could the liquidity sent to Pakistan just be pure aid instead of a sign of action against one particular religion?
Mahatma, means great soul and Gandhi recieved this name for his lifelong struggle for independance in India through peace and non-violence. He didn't succeed because of the hindu lunatic that shot him, but yet it was not the fifteen percent of the whole pupulation which today are muslims that pulled the trigger, it was a hindu!
In this or any other case you should hate the sin, love the sinner and an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.
