November 20, 2014: Unity...There goes the neighborhood


Unity has strength when different people come together.Even if it involves coming together in a family and getting along because staying separated only made them weaker. There is an old story where there were 5 brothers and each of them wanted to have share of the property from their father who was very sick and was expected to die any moment. The children were not very clever and the father wanted to share his property among these children equally and wanted them to be united.

In a word, unity means oneness, or togetherness. When there is oneness there is likely to be more strength in opinion, more strength in action, and more strength in character.In order to prove this he asked each of his children to bring a stick and asked them to break it. Everybody broke it at a time. Then he took 5 sticks together and asked them to break it. Nobody could break it as there were 5 sticks. Then the father told his children that they are also like the sticks. If they are single, anybody can break them, if they are united like the 5 sticks, nobody can break them.

Let me first discuss the smallest unit of our society. A family indicates oneness, they live together, they work together, they enjoy together, they share their woes together, and this is the basis strength of the unit. Parents encourage their children to mix freely with their peers of other races and
The moral of the story is how togetherness is like a peaceful harmony.
