Laziness
For indolence and laxity hinder the outpourings of love from the clouds of divine mercy, and people will thus remain deprived.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Importance of Obligatory Prayer and Fasting, IV
Waste not your time in idleness and indolence, and occupy yourselves with that which will profit yourselves and others beside yourself.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 195
Quote of the Day
Kamal 18 Mashiyyat 182 B.E.
Be sensitive for the possibility of prior exposure to severe violence, such as a personal or family history of trauma from torture, mutilation, war atrocities, gang rape, arson, bombings, lynchings, or other extreme forms of violence. Prior exposure to other forms of violence may exacerbate the effects of domestic violence.
