Unity Is It Possible

We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. – J.K. Rowling

What is unity?

There seems to be some confusion on this definition.

Unity - the state of being one; oneness

There has been talk of Unity. But are things actually being done to unify.

I can tell you a few things that doesn’t bring people together as one.

shutting up those who disagree with you as if only your opinion matters
Hypocrisy accusing others of doing the same thing you’re doing while denying it
Lying saying one thing thing and doing something completely different

Those are only some of the things that come to mind. There are plenty of other things if I took the time to think more about it.

My question is how can we look past our differences and begin to create unity? Is it possible? Or we in for a rude awakening and just going to continue to divide?

The way society is at this point, I believe it’s possible but people must be willing to change.

Here are 5 ideas to help us unify.

Stop censorship - we have a constitutional right to freedom of speech. You don’t just shut people up because they have different views. One persons opinion is no better than another.
Work together - most great ideas or solutions come from a group of people. We need to work together in a bipartisan environment. Not one person or one party should dominate that’s not the way our democracy was set up.
Be respectful - if you don’t agree with someone you don’t need to put them down. There are a lot of people in life that have a different point of view than me but I still respect them.
Communicate - be willing to listen to others as well as speak your thoughts. Do this with an open mind.
Find common ground.

Can we still unify? Is it possible?

I think it’s possible but it will take a lot of changes to take place. People need to let go of their pride. We can’t speak unity and do the opposite. We will never achieve unity by censorship or by burning cities down. It will take effort from everyone.
