well, i was hoping to get around to writing more on the life of gandhi, but as of yet i have made no progress. sorry about this. soon tests will be over and i will be able to do all the research i please. but until then i leave with you a great thought from another eastern thinker by the name of Kahlil Gibran:
"the weather cock"
... said the weather-cock to the wind, "how tedious and monotonous you are! can you not blow another way but in my face? you disturb my god-given stability."
and the wind did not answer. it only laughed in space.
my take: i guess life sometimes blows in our faces... and we complain thinking that life was not meant to do this, or that life is somehow unreasonable for blowing in our faces. truth is - life does what it wants. it is in the face of life that we must live. who really cares what is 'meant to' or 'not meant to' happen... life certainly doesn't.
