“In the mystic traditions of the different religions we have a remarkable unity of spirit. Whatever religion they may profess, they are spiritual kinsmen. While the different religions in their historic forms bind us to limited groups and militate against the development of loyalty to the world community, the mystics have already stood for the fellowship of humanity in harmony with the spirit of the mystics of ages gone by.” - Haile Selassie

“Imagination, devotion, perseverance, together with divine grace, will assure your success. Knowing that material & spiritual progress are essential to man, we must ceaselessly work for the equal attainment of both. It is only when a people strike an even balance between scientific progress & spiritual & moral advancement that it can be said to possess a wholly perfect and complete personality and not a lopsided one." - Haile Selassie

Impeccable response. Causes one to think.

Seeing reality for what it is is the first step. I’m also enraged by much of the world. I admire greatly how Mr. Baldwin helps the kids stay positive and hopeful nonetheless. Childhood innocence is such a precious gift.

Should we be in dismay when Jesus tells us not to be? God forbid. I am glad my life includes the privilege of repentance. ❤

You must keep your eyes on the Lord. Looking at the world too much and it's problems is deadly. I know first hand. If your eye offends you, pluck it out. Let us comfort God by being faithful and encouraging to ourselves and others for God is in us and suffers more than anyone. Deny yourself.

[classiql]

I'm enraged by it but I can't afford to be in despair about the world.

Anyone else see's and listen, an older Dave Chapelle?

[chrishunter]

We only arrive when we understand that we could do all this without worshipping a god always. It's in our nature, only suppressed by the rich/system, and no god can help us with this subject. Onle we. Eat the Musks.

The way she says "the world" makes it sound so dreadful. 😅
