Honor Gandhi by promoting peace

Oct. 2 marks the International Day of Nonviolence and the birthday of the patriarch of pacifism, Mahatma Gandhi. The latter advocated religious, racial and ethnic reconciliation, human rights, civil rights, humane vegetarianism and reverence for all life. These idyllic goals have not actualized, but humanity still must ardently strive to make the earth a more peaceful, safe and compassionate planet for all its species.
