UNITY
So, what is Unity? It’s not just about waging a war against uninvited intruders. It’s not even about living together under one single roof. It’s about feeling one, living together as one huge strength not separate week individuals. Unity today is a powerful liberating force that is strictly essential in every aspect. This can be expressed as the correct definition of unity. Where do we derive the inspiration from? If we look around us, we can find unity in most of the living creatures. For example, the ANT. This tiny little insect has been a source of inspiration to the greatest men who have lived on this earth. Just a minute creature can teach man, the superior one a whole lesson. The ant works tirelessly to make ends meet for its community. We can obtain inspiration just by looking at them. They are always concerned about their fellow ants. The make way for the younger ones and help other ants in times of danger. They share each others’ burden. They are strong and united. If a less clever creature than man can teach us something worthwhile then how much superior are we, if we cannot live together in peace and calm? So where do we start? Where can we build the foundation for unity? Since tender minds are the seedlings of developed brains, it is from the young ones that we begin. Today’s children are tomorrow’s citizens. Children must be taught the importance of unity first in their classroom and then outside. It is the duty of the teachers to tell them that peace can dwell only where unity is found.


In large cases like “unity in a country”, it is not easy as explained above. Due to the POPULATION, or better defined as OVER POPULATION in a country like India, unity can be obtained only by persevered effort. But it does not mean that India is not united. During the aftermath of the struggle for independence of India from the Britishers, we the citizens of India have learnt a moral lesson to remain a single nation and not different states. This lesson can never be easily forgotten. India is now soaring to incredible heights with national integration in fields like defense, literacy, health, economic conditions, etc. and Indians are proud to say that we will soon become a no. 1. When we speak about unity, it does not mean only national unity, but global unity also. India is one of the few countries that have realized the importance of unity in survival. What is the solution to bring about perfect unity in each and every country of this world, however big or small? There goes a saying “It is the little things that matter in big situations”. This is rightfully said. Only if internal unity is found in trivial matters, can complete unity be achieved.

Every human being must come together in unity in order to lead a peaceful life. Everybody must help each other during calamities. We must give up our selfish ways and show concern towards our neighbors. Only then we can overcome terrorism and corruption from this world. It is a tough path but with determination and confidence we can achieve the toughest. A famous Swedish proverb goes like this “Shared joy is double joy, shared sorrow is half sorrow”. Just like this if each and every individual of this world learns to share his joys and sorrows and also learns to accept each others’ joys and sorrows, can the human race flourish
