Ghandi

Tonight I watched Ghandi's non-violent resistance campaign that he led to free India from the British Empire and their oppression. To say that it was inspiring would be an understatement. The climax of the movie was when men marched toward the British army who wouldn't allow them to pass (for whatever reason) and beat them back with their weapons. The Indians refused to lose heart and refused to use violence.

That moment - it was reported - India truly gained their independence. That is not the moment that the English decided to leave India, but it WAS the moment that they were rendered powerless. Ghandi had succeeded in stripping the "principalities and powers" of all their power. They were exposed for what they truly were - EVIL.

In all our dealings with the world, we must never use the weapons of the world. Whether that be a machine gun, nuclear weapon or whether it is simply refusing to lie and cheat to get ahead. When we fight the world with the weapons the world uses - no matter what "good" may come out of it, we lose.

Ghandi taught this - But so did Christ!
