Seven Social Sins

I came across a simpler version of this that not only attributes this to Gandhi himself, but misspelled his name. So I created a version using Gemini.

The original list via Wikipedia:

Seven Social Sins is a list by Frederic Donaldson that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi published in his weekly newspaper Young India on 22 October 1925. Later he gave this same list written on a piece of paper to his grandson, Arun Gandhi, on their final day together shortly before his assassination.

Gandhi listed the sins as:

  1. Wealth without work
  2. Pleasure without conscience
  3. Knowledge without character
  4. Commerce without morality
  5. Science without humanity
  6. Religion without sacrifice
  7. Politics without principle

[...]

More recently Mohandas Gandhi's list of negative qualities has also been described by his grandson as "Seven Blunders of the World".

[...]

Arun Gandhi "would make 'Rights without responsibilities' No. 8 on his grandfather's list of 'blunders.'

I think this is a useful list to have up to remind all of us, no matter our politics or religion, What's important in life.
