"It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business"
- Mahatma Gandhi
About this Quote
This quote by Mahatma Gandhi speaks with the power of real religion and its capability to bring people together, even those who may consider themselves opponents. Gandhi is suggesting that it is easy to be friendly to those we currently consider our friends, but it takes an unique type of courage and faith to connect to those who may not be so friendly. This is the true essence of religion, and it is something that goes beyond simple company. It is a call to action, to connect to those who may not be so easy to get along with, and to reveal them generosity and understanding. It is a suggestion that we are all connected, and that we must aim to be more understanding and thoughtful towards one another, no matter our distinctions.
