When Mahatma Gandhi articulated his principles of political nonviolence, he stressed that, in all our doings, the end is inherent in the means. This concept reverses the common Western truism that "the end justifies the means." According to Gandhi, how we do something is as important as what we're trying to do, because ultimately whatever we do will be determined by how we do it. . . . Love is a process as well as a goal.
