I agree entirely with Mahatma Gandhi's quotation, and in fact with most of
his ideas. One possible exception was his failure to overtly oppose Japan
during WWII, but I suspect strongly that securing independence for India was
enough to occupy his full attention. (Why the Irish Republic was mostly
silent in WWII is another question - but then, it was Gandhi and not De
Valera who pioneered peaceful demonstrations to secure independence.)
My wish for the New Year (of Christianity - remember, there are many New
Years) and Christmas is that humanity does not become a past statistic but
learns the lessons from the past. Towards the future always. There is no
other way to go.
