What Can I Do, Today, That's Positive?

Today, so much that happens in the world is negative. Injustice. Polarization. Oppression. Racism. Loneliness. Emptiness. Nihilism. War. The list goes on... So much energy is now being released into the world, so much is emotionally charged, and so much of this energy serves only to divide and separate … leading us toward collective limbic retreat into the extremes of fight or flight. We find ourselves taking a side. Within this environment, it's become more of a challenge to lead a life that is truly positive. In fact, the present condition of society makes me wonder how well we are able to discern between positive and negative: What can I do, day to day, that will actually be positive? This is the question we will explore in this conversation, guided by the sacred Writings of the Baha’i Faith, which is the most recent of the world’s independent religions. Millions of Baha’is and their friends throughout the world continue to work, tirelessly, seeking to bring the whole of humanity toward the state of unity, exactly what is needed for humanity to resume its progress. Consistent with the Baha’i vision of oneness, all views and each person – of every race, nationality, class, gender, ethnicity, and culture – are welcome in this space.

“He must turn away from ideas which degrade the human soul, so that day by day and hour by hour he may advance upward and higher to spiritual perception of the continuity of the human reality.” Baha’i Writings
