I agree. most people have tunnel vision. it fucks with their perspective, and that's never a good thing.. thai people always wai (pay respect) as they pass by a representation of the buddha. don't matter who they are or what they do. your spirituality has nothing to do with what you choose to do with your life.

as far as ghandi goes:

Mahatma Gandhi had taken a public vow of celibacy at age 37 and toward the end of his life he undertook what he described as the last yajna or ritual to test his sexual impulses. His exercise involved by sleeping naked with young women in his ashram, including his 19-year-old grand-niece Manu Gandhi and Abha Gandhi, the 16-year-old wife of his grand-nephew Kanu Gandhi. He acknowledged “that this experiment is very dangerous indeed,” but insisted “that it was capable of yielding great results.” This has been viewed with suspicion by sceptics.
