Truth Wills example essay topic

Mohandas K. Gandhi was born in 1869 to Hindu parents in the state of Gujarat in Western India. He entered an arranged marriage with Kasturbai Ma kanji when both were 13 years old. His family later sent him to London to study law, and in 1891 he was admitted to the Inner Temple, and called to the bar. In Southern Africa he worked ceaselessly to improve the rights of the immigrant Indians. It was there that he developed his creed of passive resistance against injustice, satyagraha, meaning truth force, and was frequently jailed as a result of the protests that he led. Before he returned to India with his wife and children in 1915, he had radically changed the lives of Indians living in Southern Africa.

Back in India, it was not long before he was taking the lead in the long struggle for independence from Britain. He never wavered in his unshakable belief in nonviolent protest and religious tolerance. When Muslim and Hindu compatriots committed acts of violence, whether against the British who ruled India, or against each other, he fasted until the fighting ceased. Independence, when it came in 1947, was not a military victory, but a triumph of human will. To Gandhi's despair, however, the country was partitioned into Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan.

The last two months of his life were spent trying to end the appalling violence, which ensued, leading him to fast to the brink of death, an act that finally quelled the riots. In January 1948, at the age of 79, an assassin killed him as he walked through a crowed garden in New Delhi to take evening (morning) prayers. Gandhi had walked the path of truth his whole life and in the end he ended up saving a nation but his life was taken for the fact that he spoke the truth. I my self-have all ways tried to be like Gandhi not to lead a nation to freedom but to say the truth but some times it am hard to do such things.

I have cheated on many tests in my school time but in return I have never gained but lost. Lost the information the was on the test because I did not study shore I passed but when the finales come I will be like an helpless fish on the ground whit out an pool of water to live in. Then there is the truth part you cant all ways say the truth for example if you friend ask you "if he / she is an "Ass" I don't think you will say yes why because it's not right and if you go around saying the truth you will not have any friends. Truth is also the key to like I have heard that " one who specks the truth wills all ways win any where".

If that is true or not I don't know case I have only began to walk the path and it tack time before you can even say if you are doing the right thing or messing up. Truth can also get you to win an battle as well as an war how it's simple you say the truth the enemy will not be afraid of you because you told him every thing you will do and the enemy will thing he is stronger and will have too much confidence in him and will over look the will that the opposite army has and that is going to be his down fall. Last but not lest the path of truth always leads to these two ways: prospering and death. If you tell mean things (Tell the truth) to every one you meet you will hurt their feelings. The other path is lying so you wont hurt any ones feelings, that is not bad because you are going to make friends and sat out of trouble. Gandhi walked the path of truth and got killed.

He also freed a nation from the English rule so his death was not bad case he died finishing his task. So like Gandhi I have chosen to walk the path of truth to help others and myself around me. When I have come close to Gandhi in specking the truth (maybe never) I will have finished my task that I have taken up. It might led me to my grave but I don't mind knowing that I was not lying I am happy to die.
