The Baha'i Studies Listserv Another new paragraph from the Unities Model of Existence <http://unities.bahaifaith.info/> book:
Partisan politics and politicking in general are, often intentionally, divisive. They contradict, by definition, Unities of All Things, The Unities Model of Existence, and the Bahá?í principle of consultative decision making. Although, to be honest, I sometimes find the controversies of government to be entertaining, I try to avoid any personal involvement with them. Even in cases where I generally agree with one side or another, I have noticed that, as soon as the issues become politicized, they are rarely resolved. Instead, people form in-groups and out-groups, while the conversation quickly deteriorates into "us" versus "them." --- Mark A.
