Gandhi's Birthday

Yesterday was Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. People like him are proof that there is still goodness in this world, just not fairness. Sure, he was not perfect- none of us are, we're human, after all- but he strove towards a goal that most believed would not be accomplished.

He fought for India Independence. He made some decisions that many people would not agree with - some still blame him for agreeing to the division of India and Pakistan. As a leader, you always have to make that choice- your people will never always be happy. But he genuinely did everything for his country and the rest of the world out of the goodness in his heart and a love for humanity. I find my eyes wet sometimes when I think about the way he was shot and how he left this world. His final words were Hey Ram- remembering god. Yes, he loved god and lived a life that inspired millions. Then, he was killed. I know that god has plans, but he went too soon.

God bless his soul.
