ouch Mahatma Ghandi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that the soles of his feet became quite thick and hard. He was also a very spiritual person. And even when he was not on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and as a consequence was quite thin and frail. Further, his chosen diet caused him to have very bad breath. Therefore he came to be known as the "super-callused fragile mystic vexed with halitosis."
