A Western Civilization

Gandhi was a kind, nonviolent man whose wisdom is widespread…
When asked what he thought about Western Civilization
“I think it would be a good idea.” he said.

A civilization that treated all people with tenderness, 
with love and with affection
that accepted everyone in life 
without reservations or exceptions.

A civilization filled with tolerance, 
with mercy and charity…
A civilization where people work together…
where everyone was free…

As Gandhi said it is a good idea…
a civilization that is kindhearted…
and if we are going to create one…
perhaps we should get started.
