There are lots of circumstances in our life when we have to choose between truth or lie.

” life must be full of qualitative things not only quantity”
In our generation, we believe in things happening at a fast pace. People are only thinking about surviving and they forget how to live. Mahatma Gandhi says live life to fullest.
Make your day so productive that you can’t regret that you’ve wasted your time.
Instead of rushing everyday, you must spend your time on the things which give you happiness and joy.

We have learnt in science that each reaction has an equal and opposite reaction.
How you act today will impact your Tomorrow Mahatma Gandhi teaches us that you can blame someone for your mistake. You must be responsible for your mistake. At the end you are one who has to pay. The future of you totally depends on how your reaction is today on the same thing. Even a tiny decision or simple act of yours can affect your future and you have to bear the consequences. Thus acting late can be fine but acting wrong is not.

There is one statement that “An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind”.
We commit lots of mistakes in our daily life. People around us, friends, family, colleagues, juniors, seniors commit mistakes. It is common to make mistakes by everyone but forgiving someone for the mistake is the quality you must have. When a person is wrong, it is obvious that they want to retaliate . But understanding what is right or wrong is important. Even Mahatma Gandhi ji has suffered a lot under British rule but he chose the path of non violence instead of taking arms against them. And in the end we all know who wins.
