Do you have a right to be unhappy?

Being unhappy is not right and not a right.
It is not right, because that is ungrateful to God.
It is not a right, because we are spoiling our life and the society.
Being created with the power of understanding, that all other creatures are deprived, we have the divine privilege to thankfully discover and enjoy all the physical and spiritual treasures of God. It is quite wrong to empoverish our mind by imagining that we are poor and hence unhappy.
When we dwell in unhappiness, we become a burden for our family and our country. And in such state, we have no interest and capacity to establish new family for the advancing continuation of the human race.
We belong to the noble race of beings with right and duty for learning to live happily, thankfully, usefully as true children of the One True God.
“Live and learn” is a divine command for all people.

Baha’u’llah says:

 13. O SON OF SPIRIT! I created thee rich, why dost thou bring thyself down to poverty? Noble I made thee, wherewith dost thou abase thyself? Out of the essence of knowledge I gave thee being, why seekest thou enlightenment from anyone beside Me? Out of the clay of love I molded thee, how dost thou busy thyself with another? Turn thy sight unto thyself, that thou mayest find Me standing within thee, mighty, powerful and self-subsisting.

(Baha’u’llah, The Arabic Hidden Words)

IS HELL AS BAD AS THEY SAY?

Posted on November 18, 2013 by joyfulwayfarer

Do you believe hell is as bad as they say? (just trying to plan some)

Yes, beyond all description and imagination.
Immature people think that they can live purposelessly without any punishment. God cannot send to hell good people, who only refuse to conduct a life with divine purpose. Yes, this is false imagination about man, God and hell.
Man is a rational being. If he lives in confusion, that is already his hell. And if this lasts eternally, then it is unbearable hell.
All men need to be educated to know exactly who he is, how he should conduct his life to go through this life with true knowledge and to pass beyond with due preparations. If the life of knowlege causes him to be happy, useful, progressive right here, it is true heaven. And greater knowledge will confirm greater joy in the higher realms for human souls. This blissful education is given by God to all His children, and they are free to make the choice. We may see the difference between the wise and the fool. And God does not want His children choosing to suffer.

The Bab says:

Paradise is attainment of His good-pleasure and everlasting hell-fire His judgement through justice.

The Day He revealeth Himself is Resurrection Day which shall last as long as He ordaineth.

Everything belongeth unto Him and is fashioned by Him. All besides Him are His creatures.

In the Name of God, the Most Exalted, the Most High.

WILL GOD LET ME ELIMINATE JOURNALISTS?

Posted on November 18, 2013 by joyfulwayfarer

Will God let me eliminate all journalists? I hate them all.

Asked By: Forget2Trust 22-25, F  31 minutes ago

I love and admire journalists, because God loves them.
Usually, they get a proper education and performing their job with a clear code of ethics. They bravely enter all places of great danger such as battlefields, forbidden zones under storm, thickest jungles, farthest lands over seas and mountains … They bring to us hottest information concerning natural or human events, or the existence of endangered and forgotten species.
Some among them may get false information or report distorted news, due to lack of experience, of self-control, of clear conscience. But all, in general, have brought to us all sorts of data, making the press as a loyal mirror of our world. It is hard to think about a civilized world without mass media.
Along with workers in all other branches of human activities, the brave and mature journalists will become active and efficient builders of world peace. Yes, I sincerely admire them.

 …a resolute attempt should be made by the national elected representatives of the entire community, aided by their Public Relations, Race Unity, Public Meetings, Visual Education, College Speakers Bureau and Radio Committees, to reinforce the measures already adopted for the proclamation, through the press and radio, of the verities of the Faith to the masses, and for the establishment of closer contact with the leaders of public thought, with colleges and universities and with newspaper and magazine editors.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO TOUCH?

What do you like to touch.

Asked By: jimmiecricket 41-45, M  19 minutes ago

The mouse.
In the olden days, I love to touch Holy Books which lead me to the Path of God.
Now, the mouse takes me to larger libraries, larger communites, larger schools where all new learning and creative entertainment can be found.
Perhaps all kids will use the mouse as we use the pen in the previous centuries. Now, I rarely use the pen, except when signing the papers concerning health insurance at the outdated hospitals. It is like company representatives signing trade agreements. Hence, kids still have to learn signing with pens. They don’t need mouse like me, they only touch the sreen. Then, more progress will cause computers to take the commands from human thoughts.
Will human limbs be reduced to naught by evolution?!

Abdul-Baha says:

 O noble friends; seekers after God! Praise be to God! Today the light of Truth is shining upon the world in its abundance; the breezes of the heavenly garden are blowing throughout all regions; the call of the Kingdom is heard in all lands, and the breath of the Holy Spirit is felt in all hearts that are faithful. The Spirit of God is giving eternal life. In this wonderful age the East is enlightened, the West is fragrant, and everywhere the soul inhales the holy perfume. The sea of the unity of mankind is lifting up its waves with joy, for there is real communication between the hearts and minds of men. The banner of the Holy Spirit is uplifted, and men see it, and are assured with the knowledge that this is a new day.

(Abdu’l-Baha, Abdu’l-Baha in London, p. 19)
