I encourage my children and grandchildren to surf the Internet as early as they can. I think that the Internet does not cause much harm to kids than their immature parent(s). Good parents will be able to guide their children through any danger on earth with heavier responsibility. And Internet is the best educational instrument from now on. Nothing can bring the whole universe to man’s eyes like the Internet. All physical and spiritual matters are presented to each and all individuals. If a person makes bad choice on the Internet, he also makes bad choice in real life.
No nation dares refuse to use the Internet. If it is essential for each country, why it is not essential for all citizens?
KIngs, fathers, priests … should no longer make themselves as exclusive possessors of all righs and liberties. These must be transfered to following generations who will maintain order and security through democratic institutions.
Today, the laws must govern, not the individuals.

Abdul-Baha says:

 While the setting up of parliaments, the organizing of assemblies of consultation, constitutes the very foundation and bedrock of government, there are several essential requirements which these institutions must fulfill. First, the elected members must be righteous, God-fearing, high-minded, incorruptible. Second, they must be fully cognizant, in every particular, of the laws of God, informed as to the highest principles of law, versed in the rules which govern the management of internal affairs and the conduct of foreign relations, skilled in the useful arts of civilization, and content with their lawful emoluments.

Let it not be imagined that members of this type would be impossible to find. Through the grace of God and His chosen ones, and the high endeavors of the devoted and the consecrated, every difficulty can be easily resolved, every problem however complex will prove simpler than blinking an eye.

(Abdu’l-Baha, The Secret of Divine Civilization, p. 16)

DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL OR WORK?

Posted on November 20, 2013 by joyfulwayfarer

Do you go to school or work? None or both?

None and both.
I don’t go to school to obtain degrees and I do not work for salary.
I am learning in real life and on Internet and I am writing daily to contribute new opinions for universal education.
I see that the present educational system in all countries are creating outdated learners and workers. They all think that learning is to get degrees and working is to receive salaries. Otherwise, they have nothing else to do for themselves and for the world.
I think that the world is becoming a world country very soon, and we don’t have world citizens to vote wisely, world functionaries to perform global duties in the world companies and world civil societies. National powers are losing control and world crimes become rampant. The most dangerous condition is global anarchy.
Yes, please redo our education and our work for our happy world.

Shoghi Effendi says:

The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Bahá’u’lláh, implies the establishment of a world commonwealth in which all nations, races, creeds and classes are closely and permanently united, and in which the autonomy of its state members and the personal freedom and initiative of the individuals that compose them are definitely and completely safeguarded. This commonwealth must, as far as we can visualize it, consist of a world legislature, whose members will, as the trustees of the whole of mankind, ultimately control the entire resources of all the component nations, and will enact such laws as shall be required to regulate the life, satisfy the needs and adjust the relationships of all races and peoples. A world executive, backed by an international Force, will carry out the decisions arrived at, and apply the laws enacted by, this world legislature, and will safeguard the organic unity of the whole commonwealth. A world tribunal will adjudicate and deliver its compulsory and final verdict in all and any disputes that may arise between the various elements constituting this universal system. A mechanism of world inter-communication will be devised, embracing the whole planet, freed from national hindrances and restrictions, and functioning with marvellous swiftness and perfect regularity….

THREE WORST MISTAKES PEOPLE ARE MAKING?

Posted on November 20, 2013 by joyfulwayfarer

3 worst mistakes, people are making Today?

Asked By: ChessHottie 18-21, F  23 minutes ago

Posted by Me Nov 19th, 2013 at 10:26PM

Ignorance, lust, and arrogance.
Today, or yesterday, I and lots of other people always make these worst mistakes.
Our ignorance causes us to be judgmental, lazy, discontent. We blame the world for the unhappiness of our life. Lust is leading us into amassing things of this world, even illegally and unfairly. Our arrogance causes us to look down upon weaker beings, causing harm to them, violently and fatally.
Only when we re-examine our life, seeing our faults, and decide to repent, we will see the world differently and cause our life to be happy. We must learn and practice divine principles, in order that we become more knowledgeable, humble and compassionate. This change will save our own self and save the world from our disobedient past.
All people know these simple things taught by Buddha long ago; but we wait for other people to change instead to make our own change. We consider our change as little thing, and the change of other people as more influential. And this false thinking keeps us in the dark hell of our ignorance.

Abdul-Baha says:

The root cause of wrongdoing is ignorance, and we must therefore hold fast to the tools of perception and knowledge. Good character must be taught. Light must be spread afar, so that, in the school of humanity, all may acquire the heavenly characteristics of the spirit, and see for themselves beyond any doubt that there is no fiercer hell, no more fiery abyss, than to possess a character that is evil and unsound; no more darksome pit nor loathsome torment than to show forth qualities which deserve to be condemned.

The individual must be educated to such a high degree that he would rather have his throat cut than tell a lie, and would think it easier to be slashed with a sword or pierced with a spear than to utter calumny or be carried away by wrath.

(Abdu’l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha, p. 136)
