An Idol?

Lately, ever since i found that quote from Gandhi, i've been looking stuff up about him. He really was an awesome guy, who a lot of people could stand to learn a good deal from. I particularly like his stance on standing up for what You believe in, and his belief in non-violence, regardless of the situation, or what causes. He was remarkably tolerant, which is sorely needed in this day and age. Gandhi was willing to see things from multiple perspectives, but he never compromised his own to anyone but himself. Gandhi was willing to accept change, and indeed, several of his theories changed over the years. It's no wonder he was awarded the title "Mahatma" or "Great Spirit". How ironic that one of his own people would end his life, a life that was dedicated to them. Gandhi himself admitted he was far from perfect, and he made mistakes like everyone else. His will however, was not average. He had incredible willpower, capable of sustaining him through weeks of fasting. Gandhi disilked the title of "Mahatma", because he had great humility, something else that is lacking in our world. All in all, Gandhi was an incredible person... certainly not the worst choice, if You were choosing someone to emulate.
