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.

Son, I'd say you were going at it the wrong end first, said the Judge, turning up his coat-collar. How could you care about one girl? Have you ever cared about one leaf?Riley, listening to the wildcat with an itchy hunter's look, snatched at the leaves blowing about us like midnight butterflies; alive, fluttering as though to escape and fly, one stayed trapped between his fingers. The Judge, too: he caught a leaf; and it was worth more in his hand than in Riley's. Pressing it mildly against his cheek, he distantly said, We are speaking of love. A leaf, a handful of seed--begin with these, learn a little what it is to love. First, a leaf, a fall of rain, then someone to receive what a leaf has taught you, what a fall of rain has ripened. No easy process, understand; it could take a lifetime, it has mine, and still I've never mastered it--I only know how true it is: that love is a chain of love, as nature is a chain of life.
