November 12 Baha'is celebrated the birth of Baha'u'llah, founder of the Baha'i Faith. So I thought I'd share something from the Baha'i teachings. Actually, it's appropriate to the discussion under current events right now.

"All mankind are creatures and servants of the one God. The surface of the earth is one home; humanity is one family and household. Distinctions and boundaries are artificial, human. Why should there be discord and strife among men? All must become united and coordinated in service to the world of humanity."

and:
"In the days of old an instinct for warfare was developed in the struggle with wild animals; this is no longer necessary: nay, rather, co-operation and mutual understanding are seen to produce the greatest welfare of mankind. Enmity is now the result of prejudice only."
