#084: Against the Whole World

“That something in me which never deceives me tells me now: ‘You have to stand against the whole world although you may have to stand alone. You have to stare the world in the face although the world may look at you with bloodshot eyes. Do not fear. Trust that little thing in you which resides in the heart and says: Forsake friends, wife, all; but testify to that for which you have lived and for which you have to die.’”*

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (... 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer,[3]anti-colonial nationalist,[4]and political ethicist,[5]who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule,[6]and in turn inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (Sanskrit: "great-souled", "venerable"), first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world.[7][8] / Born and raised in a Hindu family in coastal Gujarat, western India, Gandhi trained in law at the Inner Temple, London, and was called to the bar at age 22 in June 1891. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi
