Work towards unity from "summary" of Across That Bridge by John Lewis
To me, unity is not just a nice idea or a lofty goal. It is a fundamental principle that guides my actions and beliefs. Unity means recognizing that we are all interconnected, that our fates are intertwined, and that we all have a stake in each other's well-being. It means acknowledging our shared humanity and striving to create a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Working towards unity requires us to set aside our differences and come together in a spirit of cooperation and understanding. It means listening to one another with an open heart and mind, seeking common ground, and finding ways to bridge the divides that separate us. It means recognizing that we are stronger together than we are apart, and that by working towards common goals, we can create a more just and equitable society for all. Unity does not mean uniformity. It does not require us to give up our individual identities or conform to a single way of thinking. Instead, it calls on us to celebrate our diversity and to see it as a source of strength rather than division. Unity is not about erasing our differences, but about finding ways to reconcile them and build a more inclusive and compassionate community. In order to work towards unity, we must be willing to confront the forces of division and hatred that seek to tear us apart. We must stand up against injustice and inequality, and work to dismantle the systems of oppression that perpetuate them. We must speak out against discrimination and prejudice, and strive to create a world where everyone is valued and respected. Unity is not easy. It requires courage, perseverance, and a willingness to engage in difficult conversations. It means being open to change and growth, and being willing to challenge our own biases and assumptions. But the rewards of unity are great. By coming together as one human family, we can create a world where all people are treated with dignity and respect, where justice and equality prevail, and where love and compassion guide our actions.
