Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.


An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, highlights the futility and destructive nature of revenge. By seeking retribution in an "eye for an eye" manner, a vicious cycle of violence ensues, resulting in everyone being harmed and no resolution or healing achieved. It reminds us that responding to harm with more harm only perpetuates the cycle, and that true peace can only be achieved through compassion, forgiveness, and understanding.
