People like Adolf Hitler -- these are sadists. Then there are masochists. Masochists don't do much harm, they only do harm to themselves. Sadists do tremendous harm because their joy is in torturing others. But the greatest harm is done by sado-masochists.
Is Mahatma Gandhi is a sado-masochist who tortures himself; and that torturing himself gives him the authority to torture you.

Man. What have you been reading?
Ghandi (has an H in it, by the way) was for peace and understanding. Not masochism. He believed that the way you teach peace is by being peaceful.
Please educate yourself by reading some of his teachings intstead of going off half ****** like this.
