Unity.
Unity.
The many come together in a common voice.
All these things that divide us,
the contempt for the "other" - dissolved.
Delighting in and valuing our differences.
Excitement and motivation alone
have no holding power, no direction
and accomplish nothing.
Absence of any differences
Has direction but no magnitude
and accomplishes nothing.
Why seek to find fault with another?
You will find it.
You will be discontent.
Unity will be broken.
Why seek to place blame?
You may feel justified.
You will be discontent.
No improvement will occur.
Rather, my friends,
Have compassion. Forgive.
Put your differences behind you.
Only then will you truly move forward.
