DOING GOOD

Some you will be aware that I am passionate about a better future for the world, for people and the environment and where the qualities of Justice, Peace and Harmony can be universally applied for the benefit of all human beings. I now also realise that this is unlikely to be achieved through war, violence, political, economic or religious activities or controls.
But it is achievable

May be I am naïve, but I sincerely believe in the potential outlined in the following quotation.

“The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds and through commendable and seemly conduct.”
― Bahá'u'lláh

For me , this is a very true statement, so I should focus most of my activities on things I can do and control myself.

"Pure and Goodly deeds".

If that makes me a "do gooder" then so be it.

Beautiful images can inspire beautiful words such as this poem about Faith

THIS IS FAITH

 

To walk where there is no path
To breathe where there is no air
To see where there is no light --... Read More
This is Faith.
 
To cry out in the silence,
The silence of the night,
And hearing no echo believe
And believe again and again --
This is Faith.
 
To hold pebbles and see jewels
To raise sticks and see forests
To smile with weeping eyes --
This is Faith.
 
To say: "God, I believe" when others deny,
"I hear" when there is no answer,
"I see" though naught is seen --
This is Faith.
 
And the fierce love in the heart,
The savage love that cries
Hidden Thou art yet there!
Veil Thy face and mute Thy tongue
Yet I see and hear Thee, Love,
Beat me down to the bare earth,
Yet I rise and love Thee, Love!"
This is Faith.
