| Abstract | We have a tension between "fact" and "fiction," between objective history and subjective "stories." How this tension is read may result in beauty or horror, culture or prejudice. The inherited "facts" of the past cannot create the future, which is within the power of imagination. Bahá'ís have inherited a responsibility to resolve this tension. Our common future depends on it. The question that we must ask, therefore, is not only who will write the future, but who will read it. |
