Strengthening Unification through Uniqueness
By Joseph Watson
In these modern times, unification is needed more than it has ever been. Furthermore, the differences between all of us has never been so pronounced. How can we all remain unique and then unite? In Nevada, there are so many different views on life and the way that it should be lived. I believe that we will be stronger if we recognized our commonalities along with our uniqueness and celebrate them more often.
Getting to know one another better is one way of doing this. Thanks to a worldwide reset of how humans interact and communicate, we often find ourselves more comfortably isolated. I blame this on living behind the screen of our devices of choice. It is essential to grow together as a society by interacting with someone that you never thought that you would interact with. You will find that they are more like you than you think. The world will become a smaller place. Everyone will suddenly become more familiar yet remain unique. Our missions will be more in alignment with each other, and a great momentum of unification will be achieved.
If we start to consider ourselves as the individual threading of the fabric that holds us all together, then we will understand how important it is to bind together to strengthen our unity which will ultimately make the world a better place to navigate and live. Just look at nature to learn a lesson on what happens when fish decide to swim in large schools, ants work together in a colony, and birds migrate in flocks. It just works!
