"When a thought of war comes, oppose it with a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love." 'Abdúl-Bahá.

Fight negativity with positive thoughts, in times of darkness turn to the sun.

A lot of people have moved over to Bluesky to escape the derogatory and negative hate speech on X. So why are they now posting derogatory and negative posts about the new regime in the USA here?
Why not keep this platform for positivity, inclusivity, tolerance, love and support. We all need this!

Nine countries eliminated a disease in 2024. Here's how Pakistan pulled it off — fulfilling a young boy's dream of eliminating blindness caused by bacterial infections.

Dreadful injustice, #Iran #MahvashSabet
Two years ago this piece appeared in the Journal highlighting the plight of #MahvashSabet, an award winning poet. In prison now for a second 10 year term for her faith, 71 year's old and severely ill. #Iran should release her immediately. #FoRB #Bahai www.thejournal.ie/readme/minor...

This means that just under three-quarters (73%) of offenders who received probation in 2020, in other words given a second chance to put their lives back on track, took that opportunity. Well done to them. Try posting positive headlines for a change please!!
