Do not allow difference of opinion, or diversity of thought to separate you from your fellow-men, or to be the cause of dispute, hatred and strife in your hearts. Rather, search diligently for the truth and make all men your friends. - Abdu'l-Baha

A thread follows about an experience of MIGHTY HUMAN KINDNESS in Glasgow yesterday. It involves a locked carpark, a taxi driver, a temple - and a minding that many folk live with the judgement of others every day of their lives and still choose to be open and generous.

#OTD in 1974, Freddie Mercury and Queen played Glasgow University's QM Union. The band was paid £250 for the gig, and their equipment kept blowing the venue's electrics.
Here's Freddie fooling around with some of the QM board.
