Non-cooperatio n with evil is a sacred duty.

Mahatma Gandhi
Evil, Sacred, Duty

Man, being a free agent, knows these distinctions, and when he follows his higher nature, shows himself far superior to the brute, but when he follows his baser nature can show himself lower than the brute.

In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good. But in the past, non-cooperation has been deliberately expressed in violence to the evildoer.

Withdrawal of support of evil requires complete abstention from violence. Non-violence implies voluntary submission to the penalty for non-cooperation with evil.

Humble, Past, Evil

Children inherit the qualities of the parents, no less than their physical features. Environment does play an important part, but the original capital on which a child starts in life is inherited from its ancestors.

Mahatma Gandhi
Children, Play, Evil
Mahatma Gandhi (1948). “Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth”, p.276, Courier Corporation

Mahatma Gandhi
Love, Learning, Evil
Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Merton (2007). “Gandhi on Non-Violence”, p.63, New Directions Publishing
