The Seven Blunders of the World

Shortly before his assassination, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi gave his grandson Arun Gandhi, The Seven Blunders of the World, written on a piece of paper. The blunders are,

· Wealth without work

· Pleasure without conscience

· Knowledge without character

· Commerce without morality

· Science without humanity

· Worship without sacrifice

· Politics without principle

This list grew from Gandhi's search for the roots of violence. He added that, the list are the best way to prevent oneself or one's society from reaching a point of violence.

To this list, Arun Gandhi added an eighth blunder, "rights without responsibilities".
