Several characteristics may define a hero. A hero has to be a figure with great strength or certain abilities, a risk taker, someone well known for his or her achievements. My hero was a famous warrior who used only his mind and word as indestructible weapons. Mahatma Gandhi, also known as a “ half-naked Indian fakir” left a message to the world though his own life. His message helps my life to stay away from angriness and violence and leads my thoughts to a peaceful lifestyle. Nonviolence, and Simplicity are two of the most important principles Mahatma Gandhi stood for, and without falling into dogmatisms the way Gandhi developed these three principles makes him my hero.
Mahatma Gandhi left a valuable message of nonviolence. He said that all through history the way of truth and love has always won, that an eye for an eye leads to blindness instead of victory. Applying this message I save myself everyday. Moreover, showing sympathy toward whomever gives me a bad attitude has always left me good results.
Simplicity is also one of the greatest legacy left by Gandhi. He encouraged Indian people to spin threads and wear homespun cloth instead of using foreign fabrics. Furthermore, Gandhi washed his own clothes, reduced his expenses almost to zero, and wore a dhoti part of his life to show simplicity. He refused to eat meat and became a vegetarian as an economic resource. His determination is an example for me. It gives me the strength to fight against consumerism and blind ambitions.........
