As recognized by the Ba`hai faith, one of the most basic, defining principles of God is unity and oneness. If all were one, then no suffering would exist. In fact, disunity is one of the most prevalent manifestations of resistance in the universe. If someone were to approach you, trying to become your freind, and you were to resist this persons advances, then this resistance is the main cause of the disunity between you.
Any situation can be analyzed in this way to guide you towards the morally correct course of action. If you think about this, you will see that your ideas of what is could will most often coincide with what constitutes the state of higher unity. Love seeks unity, hatred seeks disunity. Creation puts things together into greater whole, while destruction tears things apart. And so on.
All things unite in God, and in God all things are united. To become good people, we must seek to unite things, not only physical objects and beings but also everything within ourselves. Our ideas and emotions. All paradox, all polarity, all duality are illusions. All is one.

Agreed. When everyone understands this fully and that we don't need anything and that there is enough to go around.that all potential is inside us there will be an end to suffering. I hope! But the transformation must come from deep inside and high above. !
