My swim coach in college, Flip Darr, used to say that the only way to swim fast was to swim fast.
The only way to make a difference is to make a difference.
I really love this video. But let us be sure to neither romanticize the poor nor demonize the rich. What is needed is constructive action. In the work of creating a better society, let us all work as equals: not that one group is to be a recipient of aide, or as objects of development - but as subjects of development.
In a message to the Bahá’í world, the Universal House of Justice has stated:
"The greatest concern of Bahá’í [Social and Economic Development] projects has to be the development of the [peoples'] capacity to make decisions about their spiritual and material progress and then to implement them."
...this is conducive to human dignity.
