I have become literally sick of the adoration of the unthinking multitude. I would feel certain of my ground if I was spat upon by them. Then there would be no need for confession of Himalayan and other miscalculations, no retracing, no re-arranging.

Do not seek to protect me. The Most High is always there to protect us all. You may be sure that when my time is up, no one, not even the most renowned in the world, can stand between Him and me.

It is not that I do not get angry. I do not give vent to anger. I cultivate the quality of patience as angerlessness, and, generally speaking, I succeed. But I only control my anger when it comes. How I find it possible to control it would be a useless question, for it is a habit that everyone must cultivate and must succeed in forming by constant practice.


The above are all Ghandhi quotes. I do not think he needs your protection. He wouldn't have been angry over the 'joke' I do not think and as he says...if he didn't have a sense of humor, he should long ago have committed suicide.

I believe you have made too much of this for I do not believe that an insult was intended.

You are right that Ghandi had a fantastic sense of humor but I wonder how Christians would feel if a similar joke were made about Mother Theresa? I doubt there would be tons of lols around here. I don't think having sensitivity toward other beliefs is asking too much. I know Mandee didn't mean any offense by it but once it is pointed out, your response is of, 'take a joke', is really uncalled for.
