Pessimistic
There is a tremendous darkness in the world today, the darkness caused by mankind's going against the Laws of God and giving way to the animal side of human nature. People must recognize this fact, and consciously struggle against pessimism and depression.
- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 113
Quote of the Day
Jalal 2 Ilm 183 B.E.
The materialists and atheists declare that this order and symmetry is due to nature and its forces; that composition and decomposition which constitute life and existence are exigencies of nature; that man himself is an exigency of nature; that nature rules and governs creation; and that all existing things are captives of nature.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 81
