"I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the directionof his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined,he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." - Henry David Thoreau

AMERICAN GANDHI
My name is etched in World History.I gave slaves their freedom.Mahatma Gandhi,my brother did the same for India too.But his war was totally different.While the Americam Civil War was fought with guns and cannons,my brother Gandhi fought his war without firing a single shot.In fact,in world history that was was the only war,which was fought on such a large scale,that was won without any firepower.Very humbling for all military minds.
But as brothers,Gandhi and me shared a common destiny.For what we won for mankind, both Gandhi and me paid the ultimate price- a bullet in our heads,our lives were just snuffed out. We departed in humiliation.The truth is no victory can be won without some sort of painful personal sacrifice.Even God could not escape from this timeless principle.The Cross is an example.
