“Unity is Strength.” In a word, unity means oneness or togetherness. When there is oneness there is likely to be more strength in opinion, more strength in action and more strength in character. For example: if you take a stick, it could break easily. But when you take a bundle of sticks, it is hard to break. This is the unique power of unity. One very good example is this Elocution Contest. All the Rotarians are united in their stand. They work hard to make this elocution contest a success. Let us first discuss the smallest unit of our society. A family indicates oneness, they live together, they work together, they enjoy together, they share their woes together and this is the basis strength of the unit. Parents encourage their children to mix freely with their peers of other races and religions.

From this smaller unit, we go to the bigger horizon of society. Schools are the best places for students of different races to mingle freely without prejudice and suspicion. Students should learn about the different festivals their friends celebrate, their rites and rituals and their places of worship. From the society, let us move on to the position of the country. We live in relative racial harmony. Unity among the various races is vital for the progress of the nation as the saying goes; “United we Stand, Divided we Fall”.

Answer:

In today’s times, where there is cut throat competition with every individual trying all his might and applying every method (fair or unfair) to reach the top, very few recognize the importance of the proverb, “Unity is Strength”. It has only become confined to motivational lectures and inspirational books. Very few people actually understand its importance and apply it in their lives. But those who do are actually more satisfied and content in every sphere of their life.

The Usage of the Proverb – Unity is Strength

The proverb has been used at various places since centuries. It finds its origin in Dutch Republic where it was used for the first time. Presently, the national coat of the armed forces in Haiti and Bulgaria has this inscribed.

Belgium took this as their motto post the Revolution of 1830. Other countries that have used this proverb as their motto in the past include Greece, Netherlands, Canada, Georgia, South African Republic, Malaysia and United States.

Stories Related to the Proverb

One of the famous stories explaining this proverb is that of a farmer and his sons. This farmer was very hard working. He toiled day and night to serve his family. He had four sons who always quarrelled with each other. The farmer was worried that if they continued to stand against each other people will easily take advantage of the situation.

In order to make them understand the importance of staying united, the farmer asked them to get one stick each. He asked them to break their stick into two. His sons broke their respective sticks effortlessly. He then asked them to make a bundle of four sticks and try to break it. Each one of them tried to break the bundle one by one but failed. The farmer then explained how we are stronger when we stand united. Nobody can break us when we are together. On the other hand, if we fight and do not support each other, it is easier for the others to break us emotionally, physically as well as mentally. His sons understood the lesson and pledged to stay united thereafter.

Another famous story that explains this proverb well is that of a Lion and four bulls. In a forest, there were four bulls that always moved in a group and stayed together. This is why the lion was never able to hunt them down though he longed to eat them. One day, a fox conspired against them and broke their friendship. Now, these bulls went their own way. They roamed around alone in search of food and lived separately. The lion learned about this and took advantage of the situation. He hunted each of them one by one and succeeded in the mission. This clearly shows the true meaning of the proverb, “Unity is Strength”.

Conclusion

Children are taught the importance of standing united as a part of their moral science lessons. However, its importance is often overlooked. The world would be a better place if we inculcate this in our lives.
