How efficient are the ways of bringing to us the news of events from round the world. And how saddening are the stories of suffering. Whether the victims of natural disasters such as those in Burma/Myanmar and China, or the Baha'is in Iran who are again suffering imprisonment for their beliefs, the true measure of our humanity is the response that we each make individually.
We may be moved to help the publicity, give voice to our concerns, or help in more practical ways by donating money to relief efforts such as Oxfam, Red Cross and the like.
Giving aid and comfort are part of the teachings of all the major Faiths in the world. How sad, then that leaders of Faith in one country are the very instigators of suffering and oppression meted out to the followers of Baha'u'llah in their own homeland.
