What does it mean to investigate reality? It means that man must forget all hearsay and examine truth himself, for he does not know whether statements he hears are in accordance with reality or not.—‘Abdu’l-Bahá
Quote
The president must be a man who does not insistently seek the presidency. He should be a person free from all thoughts of name and rank; rather, he should say, ‘I am unworthy and incapable of this position and cannot bear this great burden.’ Such persons deserve the presidency. If the object is to promote the public good, then the president must be a well-wisher of all and not a self-seeking person. If the object, however, is to promote personal interests, then such a position will be injurious to humanity …—‘Abdul-Bahá, offering his views on the kinds of individual who should be President - April 25th, 1912

When the racial elements of the American nation unite in actual fellowship and accord, the lights of the oneness of humanity will shine, the day of eternal glory and bliss will dawn, the spirit of God encompass, and the divine favors descend.—‘Abdu’l-Bahá, beginning his attack on the social conventions of the color line (April 23rd, 1912)

The Naive Optimist: We work a 4-day week and just raised $4.75m
I’m in support of this 100%
I think there’s something messed up about the startup culture in the USA. The belief is that you have to work 6-7 days a week and spend all your mental cycles on your company. Nothing but pledging your soul to your startup yields success, right?
Not in my experience.
We work a 4-day week at …

There are no whites and blacks before God. All colors are one, and that is the color of servitude to God. Scent and color are not important. The heart is important. If the heart is pure, white or black or any color makes no difference.—‘Abdu’l-Bahá, rejecting prevailing black and white views about the essentialism of race — the popular belief that a person’s race was central to his or her humanity

Your material civilization is very wonderful, if only you will allow divine idealism to keep pace with it there is great hope for general progress.—‘Abdu’l-Bahá, when asked by Kate Carew if the attention paid at present in America to material things saddened him
Quote
Why not try peace for awhile? If we find war is better it will not be difficult to fight again; but if we find that peace is the glorification of humanity, the impulse of true civilization, the stimulus to inventive genius and the means of attainment to the good-pleasure of God, we must agree to adhere to it and establish it permanently.—‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Sugar’s so sweet, it’ll rot my teeth
But instead it just rottens me, yeah
Spoiled crazy

Public display of affection (Got ‘em hatin’)
Pointin’ in our direction (Watch ‘em watch ‘em)
Public display of affection
Makes them wish they had it this way
We be at the club, the restaraunt
The grocery store or the movie
Kissin’ and touchin’ with my hands all over ya booty
Wherever it is, yes, I’ll love it truly
Your PDA-A-A, your PDA-A-A
Your PDA-A-A, your PDA-A-A
[Verse 2]
Remember at the beach, we brought the sheets
And were harassed by police
Good thing we didn’t go too deep
Everywhere we meet, the passion in me just screams
I just need you in my reach
Baby your suspense, ?
Has got me convinced
You’re the fingers to my instrument
