Gandhi had problems

And was supposedly a paedophile.
15/3/07: The bracketed parts of this quote made me feel slightly inhuman, although, according to it, I am becoming more human.

"The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection, that one is sometimes willing to commit sins for the sake of loyalty, [that one does not push asceticism to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one's love upon other human individuals]"
-from Reflections on Gandhi, George Orwell, 1949

Inhuman? How so?

Lance Abel said...

I suppose that definition made me feel inhuman because sometimes I
i) ounish ascetism to the point where normal intercourse that should be friendly becomes confrontational
ii) Am not prepared to be broken up by the state of the world. I also don't feel that loving others means we are inevitably going to become less idealistic. I think that is a bad misunderstanding.

Ounish?

Punish?

Cherish?

Not sure what you meant.

Lance Abel said...

Ah sorry. Meant 'punish' as in original quote. I sometimes punish ascetism to the point where normal intercourse that should be friendly becomes confrontational
