One of the central figures of the Bahá’í Faith puts humanity’s current peril – and ultimately brighter destiny – into a bigger context.

“Adversity, prolonged, worldwide, afflictive, allied to chaos and universal destruction, must needs convulse the nations, stir the conscience of the world, disillusion the masses, precipitate a radical change in the very conception of society, and coalesce ultimately the disjointed, the bleeding limbs of mankind into one body, single, organically united, and indivisible.”
Shoghi Effendi
