Who said: "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind"?

Which is why God's law is perfect - love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, pray for those who despitefully use you, etc.

TheAngieIshmael, And keep your friends close and your enemies even closer

knowbrains, Sometimes I wish there was a laugh button on this site!!

Actually, the philosophy of "an eye for an eye" is meant to restrict punishment of a crime to only penalties that were proportionate to the original crime. This is in contrast to a system where someone could be put to death for committing a minor offence against another of higher social status (say a peasant stealing food from a prince).

TheAngieIshmael, work with the public and see if you still feel the same!

TheAngieIshmael, If that's true then why does the religious right in America support the death penalty, torture, strike first wars etc. Gandi was also Hindu.

Player #ussdefiant, no, because we'd want revenge for that one eye and end up losing both, now, wouldn't we?

Mahatma Gandhi had never said this. It was from the film " Gandhi"

Really not that simple and straight forward. Love your enemy, for example I kill your son or wife would you give me a hug or kiss me? I don't think so. It is easy to say it when you're not involved.

TheAngieIshmael, from what book did you get this?! 😂

Player #3532789, I'm with you! lol

wasnt that from the Epic of Gilgamesh based on the Laws of Harambe?

Being an Indian I was not aware of this quote.Fine.

the Gandhis owned India's biggest eye transplant clinic. Facts.

nice message of Gandhi ji....let's apply this rule to terrorists.... ..wow

Trust in God, but keep your powder dry. Gunpowder, that is.

This quote was not used by mahatma Gandhi, it is not recorded anywhere in the history. this was used in one of the film based on him. please Google

AntibioticAdvantage1, Excellent question!
