Vision and realism

From Bahai9

A realistic appraisal of conditions is a prerequisite for undertaking the building of peace

"A candid acknowledgement that prejudice, war and exploitation have been the expression of immature stages in a vast historical process and that the human race is today experiencing the unavoidable tumult which marks its collective coming of age is not a reason for despair but a prerequisite to undertaking the stupendous enterprise of building a peaceful world."

(The Universal House of Justice, The Promise of World Peace, p. 3)
