Unity 

Journey towards unity is the most beautiful thing in the world. Both journey and unity, we cannot live without. Without them, corruption, destruction and hate will prevail. We shall stand up for what is right! We shall raise our heads high above the clouds and shout from the tops of our lungs until our blended voices are heard beyond the valleys and over the hills. Although the journey is full of obstacles and sacrifices,  which seem endless, unity is achievable. Truthfulness, love and support for one another are qualities we must have to move forward on this path. Awareness of what’s true, deep down in our hearts, is essential to overcome our egos, fears and prejudices. If we believe unity is possible then our destiny will be fulfilled. Humility, Peace and Justice will be our sanctuary. This is called Unity!
