Unity is commonly associated with conformity and the suppression of the individual, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
We can come together without conforming to the same beliefs or lifestyle, but we have to accept that we all think differently and look beyond our differences for the common good.
I’m not saying we should tolerate dangerous views that could cause harm to others, but it’s equally harmful to fight over ideological differences in a world where everyone thinks differently.
Our job is not to think or behave like each other, but to learn to respect our individuality and the value of independent thought.
People are accustomed to going to extremes with everything, so when a revolutionary concept like unity is brought to the table, it’s automatically associated with conformity and discouragement of the things that make us each unique.
