An Important Quote

“What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

I found this quote extremely intersting. I really like Mahatma Gandhi and all that he stands for. I too am Indian which just reinforces my beliefs for the things he believes in. This quote especially struck me and I thought that it would be most appropriately related to my Colloquium class. He is explaining that we are hurting the worlds forests by cutting down trees, killing wildlife and ridding them of their natural habitats. He explains that what we are doing to the forests, we are also doing to one another. Is it true that the human race has gotten so greedy and violent that we would do such hostile things to each other? We really should check ourselves because it is a little scary to think what this world is turning into. I hope that everyone who reads this will think twice the next time they want to hurt another human being or cut down trees in a forest. Very powerful, yet very true.
