Even the gods and near-saints are prone to the occasional error, from which, with the appropriate effort, they recover. Psyche’s curiosity about her husband Cupid’s appearance led to her abandonment — at least until she earned their reconciliation with Zeus’ help. Gandhi evolved from his early 20th-century views on Black South Africans, and the movement he spawned to overthrow the Indian Raj helped galvanise anti-colonial struggles elsewhere. Gandhi’s philosophy and tactics also inspired Martin Luther King Jr’s civil rights campaign in the United States.
