Ok ...today I am writing but not for the sake of jotting down another blog but seriously to know what you might have to say in favour or counter argument.

Normally, we all preach our younger ones or anyone around us to be peace loving, patient and benevolent. We all want them to be "civilised human beings". Some of us actually practise it too. But today one thing has raised a question in my mind. I dont intend to challenge the concept of Gandhian priniciple but seriously I would like to know what is boundary line between being meek and being weak. This principle was laid down by Gandhi against western world. But to my understanding this was particularly because they were cultured, and then perhaps much ahed in development than the entire world. They were highly reserching and debating on concepts like liberty, equallity etc. This concept of humility was again one of the concept of cultured society which was knowingly used agianst them.

But at present day I dont think much benefit can be derived out of it. It was then usefull because people were not using the terms meek and weak interchangibly. Today if you say u follow Gandhian priniciple, people would laugh at your face and say "saala fattu".

I agree many a time it is advisable to avoid fight just to avoid nasty scene. It may be also because you dont want to hurt or u actually dont want public scene...but are u comfortable being painted as a weak one insted of being a meek one.
