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
Fidal 4 Kamal 183 B.E.
If we but turn our gaze to the high qualifications of the members of Bahá’í Assemblies . . . we are filled with feelings of unworthiness and dismay, and would feel truly disheartened but for the comforting thought that if we rise to play nobly our part every deficiency in our lives will be more than compensated by the all-conquering spirit of His grace and power.
Shoghi Effendi – Bahá’í Administration, p. 88
