"O my God! O my God! Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose. May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law. Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee. O God! Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord."
Bahá’u’lláh2

DAY 2131: Discuss this quote in your blog. “It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.”
Charles Spurgeon

True happiness never comes from the things we have or want to have. Sometimes contentment comes from things, but it is often short lived. When we lose what made use content, we face unhappiness, discontentment, and negativity.

True happiness doesn't always come from what we enjoy. Momentary happiness come from the things we enjoy, but it can also be short lived. Especially when we have to give up that activity because of age or deteriorating health.

True happiness is a spiritual attribute, with several different components. One of those components is suffering, and another is sacrifice. Happiness without these two components can only be consider contentment and won't last beyond the point of physical death.

“Then it is impossible to attain happiness without suffering?”

‘Abdu’l‑Bahá: “To attain eternal happiness one must suffer. He who has reached the state of self-sacrifice has true joy. Temporal joy will vanish.”
‘Abdu’l‑Bahá34

Day 2738: "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."
Bob Marley
Let this quote inspire your blog entry.

Listening to music makes me happy.
Listening to music relieves the pain of negativity and depression.
Sometimes I listen to jazz.
Sometimes I listen to country.
Sometimes I listen to spiritual music.
I listen to songs I haven't heard before,
         so I know if the song has a positive and negative effect on me.
I will listen to an artist I've never heard before,
         to find out the genre of music and how it effects me.


True happiness for humanity
will come when the majority of humankind
realizes that we are one family.

PROMPT May 16th

Do you believe in ghosts or other supernatural entities? Have you ever experienced something you could not explain?

Do I believe in ghosts or other supernatural entities? Not necessarily! In my 73 years of life, I've encountered some unusual, mysterious, and weird phenomena. Were any of these experience the results of an encounter with a ghost or some other supernatural entity? That depends on ones definition of supernatural. Since we live in a universe of expanding knowledge, I'm not sure that supernatural can be applied to anything in the know or unknown part of the universe. I will, of course, attempt to keep an open mind on these subjects; at least, to a point.


Have I ever experienced something I couldn't explain? Of course, I have. However, just because I can explain it doesn't mean it can't be explained by a yet undiscovered or unrecognized law of the universe. In one of the apartments I lived in (when I first came to Las Vegas), periodically I saw a dark human-shaped shadow standing in the entrance to a hall that led to a bathroom and two bedrooms. Was it a ghost I saw? It was an old apartment, and I suspect one or more persons may have died in it. Was it the way the light reflected from the living room's picture window? Could there have been another explanation for it? When it comes to this phenomenon am I asking the right questions? I have no idea how to answer these questions.

If you are interested in one of my own theories about hauntings, please read the following poem.
