Those who are not in positions of power will find it difficult to disagree--to be truthful--because they fear for their careers and their futures." (p. 113) secrecy"'Secrecy, in my opinion,' wrote Ghandi, 'is a sin and a symptom of violence, therefore, to be definitely avoided.' Ghandi was of the view that individuals and organizations committed to truth and nonviolence could not have secrets." (p. 43) |
