I've been looking around at different communities here, trying to find people who might be interested in posting to my new site, and it's nice to see that there are a lot of communities out there with people who are genuinely interested in making themselves and the world better. I have been cynical for so much of my life, but really there is a lot of good out there. |

| posting "real entry" |
[Nov. 17th, 2007|02:15 pm] |
I guess I should post a "real entry" here, as opposed to just mentioning my site. Went for a run today, it was a pretty good day for a run. I was up late last night working on this site - just got this drive all of a sudden to finish working on it. I had the front end of the site done in a few days, but never got around to fixing up the backend so that I can manage the entries.
On a different note, here's a great quote from the Baha'i Writings that I came across yesterday:
"God has created us all human, and all countries of the world are parts of the same globe. We are all His servants. He is kind and just to all. Why should we be unkind and unjust to each other? He provides for all. Why should we deprive one another? He protects and preserves all. Why should we kill our fellow creatures? If this warfare and strife be for the sake of religion, it is evident that it violates the spirit and basis of all religion. All the divine Manifestations have proclaimed the oneness of God and the unity of mankind. They have taught that men should love and mutually help each other in order that they might progress. Now if this conception of religion be true, its essential principle is the oneness of humanity. The fundamental truth of the Manifestations is peace. This underlies all religion, all justice. The divine purpose is that men should live in unity, concord and agreement and should love one another. Consider the virtues of the human world and realize that the oneness of humanity is the primary foundation of them all." |
