"I do all the evil I can before I learn to shun it? Is it not enough to know the evil to shun it? If not, we should be sincere enough to admit that we love evil too well to give it up"

Mahatma Gandhi's quote is a representation on the human condition as well as our relationship with wickedness. He questions why we need to do evil prior to we learn to reject it, suggesting that merely recognizing the wickedness needs to be enough to make us turn away from it. He implies that if we are not able to turn away from evil, then we need to admit that we have a love for it. Gandhi's quote is a reminder that we need to know our own ability for bad and make every effort to do great instead. He urges us to be honest with ourselves as well as acknowledge our own weaknesses, so that we can function to overcome them. Eventually, Gandhi's quote is a call to activity, advising us to take responsibility for our own actions as well as make every effort to do good worldwide.
