The world is good, but contains bad. There needs to be a balance, a ying and yang, of the good and the bad in the world. “You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean, if a few drops in the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty”(Ghandi). By using the literary device, simile, the author was able to show a comparison using the word “like” to express that the ocean is like humanity. Although there is dirt in the ocean, it doesn't make the ocean dirty as a whole. Gandhi was expressing that there will always be some good in the world, and that there also will be bad.
