When
does the push for unity cross the line?
The
idea of unity has been the topic of conversation, both in the media and in
households, for as long as anyone can remember. We watch individuals and
organizations take measures to promote it in commercials, television shows and
in events of global implications like the U.N Summit. But when does the push
for unity cross the line?
Isn’t it obvious? When Sam Neil takes the role of antagonist! Just kidding (I’m a big fan of Mr. Neil’s character in Jurassic Park). Seriously though. Check out the trailer!

like to know your favorite movie character played by Sam Neil.
You never push for unity. You stimulate the profound nature in people, that deep sense; to visualize that: together we move further; a bunch of sticks is much harder to break than one stick; the sea exists not because of one water molecule, but the mutual interractions of zillions of molecules; and then you let them choose. That way, it's highly appreciated and lasts a long time, even 4 ever.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. I do acknowledge the other side's argument, though. Sometimes, it can be crazy frustrating (and sometimes depressing) to watch as people fight, bicker and/or kill one another. We see that every day on the news. Once in a while, the idea of forcing people to get along will come to mind (this is especially true when the situation hits home). But as you said, you never push for unity. Or to be more specific, you never force unity on others. Because, now that I think about it, wouldn't ads showing two opposing groups of people holding hands be considered pushing for unity? Yet, the people watching have the choice to act on that message or let the impulse fade.
DeleteI think what annoys most people (myself included) is that these changes take more time than we care to admit. Sometimes spanning multiple generations. However, a lot of times, the most significant and long lasting changes take time to get to where they are now. Slavery was (and in some areas, still is) a major source of labor and income. It took over centuries of dialogue and campaigns to get those who were once slave owners to consider it as immoral, thereby pushing to have it banned from their communities.
That said, if some entity does find a way to unify a group of conflicting individuals within a generation, I would not dissuade it. Love, respect and appreciation is in rather short supply these days. But as you very well put it, it should never be under the condition of coercion. Efforts done through coercion do not last long and are rarely appreciated by the parties involved. Thanks for your insight.
I also love your molecule analogy, by the way. I never thought of the sea that way.
