Balloon Debate - Mahatma Gandhi
I influenced important leaders and political movements. Leaders of the civil rights movement in the US, including Martin Luther King, drew from my writings in the development of their own theories about non-violence. I inspired anti-apartheid activist and former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. The British musician John Lennon even referred to me when discussing his views on non-violence.
I inspired them, I can inspire you, I can inspire the new world.
But I don’t just inspire.
I put theories into action. I put utopian concept into practice.
I liberated 350 000 000 people without violence. I wasn’t the cause of the murders of millions, because I found them different, as Hitler did. For in a world, everyone is different. And everyone deserves to live.
People need something to believe in, someone who unites every being for when they don’t have the strength to do so themselves. Jesus Christ was a person like this. However, Jesus has allowed himself to be misunderstood, and for wars to be fought in his name. Will the same happen to me? No, because I wont be misunderstood. I won’t let people fight in my name. Since, fighting for peace is like having sex for virginity.
As I once said:
I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings. My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and

    Even though I did one simple thing, It has led to discoveries that shape our society. My hard work paved the path for the discovery of base pairs, which in turn led to a whole new study: Genetics. Genetics is the study of the DNA, chromosomes and base pairs that make up every living thing on Earth. In addition to this, we are able to do DNA testing now, which can tell you what diseases you are prone to, and drugs that could be harmful to you. This has saved hundreds of lives, and will save thousands more as testing becomes more available. Another idea that was caused by my discovery is the ability to manipulate DNA and remove potentially fatal genes. This is still in development, but it has almost been perfected. All of this never would have even taken place if I had never taken that one photo of DNA in 1951. You may think that this isn’t much, but what I did is essentially like pushing a snowball down a hill. As it tumbles down, it grows larger and larger into something more profound. My discovery has led to countless scientific advances, and I believe that I am someone important who should be known for generations to…

    Many leaders in African American communities and beyond rose to great standards during the Civil Rights era, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Andrew Goodman and others. They risked their own lives in the controversy of freedom and equality. Malcolm X created the “Black Power” philosophy, Goodman was an amazing activist, and MLK assisted in many protests. They all greatly encouraged and impacted the acts to defeat inequality. A wise woman once said,” You must never be fearful about what you are doing if it is right.” Rosa Parks helped begin a civil rights movement to end the injustice against African Americans.…
