The code of Geneva is an example of Altruism. It's looking out for your fellow human, regardless of race, gender, colour, or belief, it's not killing them upon capturing your enemy, even though they would not grant you the same respect. That is magnanimity at it's best, not this.
Helping others who you are in need despite their flaws or differences from yourself is true magnanimity, not simply those who happen to follow your personal philosophy.
@Xadreos, The quotes says "The beginning of magnanimity is ...." some of the current social problems are due to the fact that those who appear to be magnanimous have forgotten the basic of magnanimity which is what the quote is suggesting. It has to start from the basic unit of society. what percentage of the world population can see it the way you see it? The purpose has been to bring the human race to spiritual and moral maturity to see the world as one family and the planet as one dwelling.
@monireh95 I agree, but I don't think these quotes in this vid do that definition any justice. What you have said though is exactly what magnanimity entails.
Another part this is wise is this " The essence of all that We have revealed for thee is Justice," and perhaps the rest is some exercise for being magnanimous, virtuous and high minded.
Thanks for looking into all things with a searching eye and for not being judgmental.
ummm....ok, what part of that was wise? Being submissive, obedient etc. to anyone is ignorance at best. Being submissive to any religion is to be blinded by faith and emotion. All I read was slavery with that quote, bigotry and greed with the one following it, and ignorance with the rest. How is spending money on one's self and one's family any less than greed? How is helping out others but only the others of your faith anything but bigotry?
The part that is wise is " to look into all things with a searching eye and is for man to free himself from idle fancy and imitation"; mind you, that blind submission and obedience is ignorance, not when it is done toward the Force behind every created things with the understanding that our knowledge of things are infinitesimal in comparison with the Force behind everything.
Baha'u'llah wrote the Words of Wisdom 150 years ago when the whole world lived in darkness of blind faith & imitation.
Ya, but none of those quotes were wise, not one. None of those quotes would be smart for any modern day person to follow. That all seemed to be a bunch of religious garbage pushing across their ideals. You want some wisdom? Here:
"It ain't the parts of the bible that I can't understand that bother me. It's the parts that I do understand."- Mark Twain
"When I was a child I had an imaginary friend to whom I talked. Then I grew up and became an atheist" - Unknown
@Xadreos "How is spending money on one's self and one's family any less than greed?"
When you spend money to feed yourself and your family, to clothe yourself and your family, and to shelter yourself and your family remind me to ask you the same question.
@danieldemol Being able to spend money on clothes and such is grand, but it is not great or magnanimous or even deserving of praise, it's mediocre at best. It's like saying you should buy your child many gifts because they cleaned their own room: if they do something to maintain THEM SELF that is selfish, not selfless. You're looking out for yourself, not someone else. If you help those in your own religion, then you are being bigoted, because you are looking out only for those of similar belief
thanks bro

Jesus said
none is good but GOD ONLY
go and sell all you have then follow CHRIST
the heavens declare the Fathers Glory
but Jesus also said
NO come to the Father but BY Jesus CHRIST the YaHshUah
all other religions even Jews say just do good and be right in all your ways and you will get to the Father
but the Father said Your Righteousness is as FILTHY RAGS
you need CHRIST because His Righteousness is A True DOOR and PERFECT GATE He takes you into the FATHERKINGDOM with Him.
