Success is guaranteed when a team work is executed. Solidarity breeds power and peace. Otherwise, everybody is a loser. Calamities and disasters always bring the various sections of the populace together infusing new strength and faith in the oneness. During the Tsunami devastation in Tamilnadu, India, people helped each other to overcome the shocks and pains suffered by those affected. Financial and material aids poured in from all parts of India and other countries as well. Likewise, health plays another unifying cause as the human nature of a person is aroused. Though many cases can be put forth to emphasize the power of unity, the following examples will amply explain it.
Two brothers could not sell their ancestral property for more than 30 years as there was no understanding and unity between them. However, their children came closer and made a windfall profit through the sale of the property.
The spouse of a colleague working in another part of India needed funds for kidney transplantation expenses. The concerned branch where the staff worked had sent an email seeking the possible help from other offices of the bank. There was an unexpected, but amazing response to the email. A huge amount was collected from several people.
When wars are fought, members of armed forces battle bravely as a single force forgetting their personal differences like religion and customs and traditions for the sole cause of protecting their country's sovereignty. Many countries secured their independence through the collective efforts of the native people. A special mention of India's freedom movement is needed here. People belonging to several religions and cultures came together to fight hard for dethroning the mighty British rule. Similarly, many nations formed an alliance to defeat the selfish and ulterior motives of some countries during the two World Wars.
People in the Kerala state of India realized the power of unity and organized a cooperative to meet the expenses arising out of sudden death in the family. Members from each household of the locality joined together and formed a society where a nominal monthly contribution is done by each member towards a fund named as ' Death Relief Fund.' Whenever a member reports death in the family, a lump-sum payment would be made to that family to meet the expenses on the ritual/ceremony for the departed person. The subscription to the fund will be continued by one person of each family after availing the fund for the earlier occasion. This cooperative has bylaws and the formal registration with the government authority. The sole purpose of this outfit is to help out the poor people like casual laborers, hawkers, fisherman, etc.. It's a purely humanitarian approach.
United is always a force. It also insulates the humanity from adversities and discontent. Empathy and Sympathy alone can make us remain united. Nevertheless, this is realized belatedly by many only when to experience personally. A fist is more powerful than the fingers. Only when fingers are together, we can grip on anything.
