"truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtues." - and it sometimes the foundation of pain.

i saw this video on a friend's blog, and it struck such a chord with me that i had to post it up here - the way it's presented is so lighthearted, yet the deeper, almost darker undertones strike through with such a potent message. it's things like this that make me want to be able to split myself into about a thousand separate people and change the world - or at least change one person's life... though i suppose that that has happened already... but i will save that for another post.

really though, does anyone know of a way that we can fix this? i want so bad to be able to make life easier for so many people, and i feel like helping the Baha'is come through this could be a way... so if anyone knows any ways that this issue can be not only brought to light but making progress towards solving it i really really really want to know. obviously prayer is a huge asset, but i feel like i need to do something physically as well... perhaps that isn't the right way to fix this problem, but i need to do something! i cannot just sit idly by while my fellow man is degraded and treated like this! this sentiment may sound like something out of a movie, but this is real! i am really frustrated that situations like this keep happening, and i don't want to continue feeling like i'm powerless to do anything! - i need to help people, whether it's mailing a complaint letter or traveling to the actual place and talking to people face to face - I NEED TO HELP!


so, again, if anyone knows of any way that this problem can be remedied, please, please PLEASE tell me.

thank you.
