Thames Valley Bahá’ís explore what it means to say 'You’ve got a friend'

July 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Thames Valley Bahá’ís will be exploring the true meaning of Friendship at their ‘Time to Unwind’ prayer and meditation devotional evening on Wednesday 17 August in Newbury.

They will be exploring a number of famous quotations, including:

•   that of Abdu’l-Baha during his Paris Talks: “Do not be content with showing friendship in words alone, let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path.” (From: Abdu’l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 15); and

•   the words of English essayist, poet and politician Joseph Addison (1672 to 1719): “Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief.”

Shawn Khorassani, a Thames Valley Bahá’í, said: “To me, friendship means building on what you’ve got and getting closer to people over a period of time. These days, too many people don’t take the time to get to know each other and really build a friendship up.”
