Gandhigiri: The need of the hour

Gandhi is great! Here are more Mahtma Gandhi quotes: http://en.thinkexist.com/quotes/mahatma_gandhi/ “God has no religion” “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Mahatma_Gandhi/ "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent." "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." I liked this last site because it categorizes the topic of the quote: http://www.fiu.edu/~fcf/Gandhi.quotes.html "Truth is what the voice within tells you." "Use truth as your anvil, nonviolence as your hammer and anything that does not stand the test when it is brought to the anvil of truth and hammered with nonviolence, reject it." I don't cheat myself at all. I see the beauty in everyday things... wether it's the flowers blooming (which I do take the time to stop and smell), my child's smile and laughter, my husband's efforts to support his family, my sister's generosity... or just a new trick my puppy has learned. I never lie, especially to my loved ones! My hubby is my best friend and my children count on me to guide them. I appreciate all of life's blessings and although I'm monetarily poor, I am rich in life! I can be honest to a fault because I am so candid... And trust me, if I were unhappy ~ the world would know about it! THANKS FOR THE DISCUSSION THOUGH ; )

following Mahatma Gandhi's principles -- do you call it gandhigiri? sad ...

I think each person finds their own happiness within themselves in different ways. I also think until you take some time to search for what makes you happy and honestly persue it, you can end up with a very bitter dissatisfied life. Just making money and being comfortable financially doesn't get you there. It's being able to look yourself in the eye in the mirror and liking the person you see.
