As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves. - Mahatma Gandhi

The 7 dangers to human virtue were published in Gandhi’s weekly paper Young India October 22, 1925. Such list represents seven ways of living that are bound to undermine your well being and the well being of those around you.  Gandhi’s 7 dangers to human virtue are as relevant in our modern society as they were in 1925. As we enter a modern society, these dangers are even more potent today.

  1. Wealth without work
  2. Pleasure without conscience
  3. Knowledge without character
  4. Commerce without morality
  5. Science without humanity
  6. Worship without sacrifice
  7. Politics without principle- “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” John Quincy Adams

What we all can take away from these seven dangers of human virtue is to become better human beings. Once we do so, it will be for the benefit of everyone including ourselves.
