Gandhi is known for his deep commitment to pacifism. Even as a boy he acted in ways that showed that he was a stickler for morals. In school when his teacher tried to have him copy in order to succeed and make him look good in front of the supervisors, Gandhi refused and did not approve of copying or lying. Gandhi throughout his life with the principle that he was a truth seeker. As a husband he wanted his wife to experience and learn the things he learned. He wanted to force her to be a certain way. When Gandhi was a young boy he learned very quickly how he should behave. After stealing he wrote a note of his confession and apology to his father. He learned through his mistakes, just as any other person does. He also was a man that stood by his word. Gandhi found himself to believe in the vegetarianism. He approved of this mainly due to his religion.
Gandhi lived his life to the best of his abilities. He lived by his morals and prided himself in the way that he acted. He was a seeker of truth and does not like living in falsehood. He believes in equality for all mankind. With this in mind, he is an extreme pacifist. I find his beliefs to be very impressive. His autobiography makes it apparent that he has always been a man that knows that he must act a certain way and he always did what he could to act that way. He learned his morals through his mistakes. This shows that he did struggle to do what was right. But he always seemed to make sure that he ended up doing what was right in the long run. He has influenced me to stick to my morals no matter what predicament I am in. He has actually taught me a lot. It’s amazing to me how he lived his life. I want to strive to live a life with such integrity.
