Unity is Strength is a proverb that almost everyone has heard of. It often forms a part of the moral science course in junior classes. The meaning of this proverb is simple yet profound. While it simply means that we must stay united in order to stay stronger however practicing this can be as difficult especially in today's competitive world. It is ironic how we are taught to stay united yet made to compete against each other at every step in our life. The importance of staying united in every situation is emphasized through the proverb - Unity is Strength. This has been used as a motto for various organizations as well as missions across the globe. Though the wordings in many cases have been changed slightly however the meaning remains the same. The proverb, Unity is Strength implies that when we stay united we stay stronger and can withstand almost any problem. On the other hand, if we keep fighting and become selfish in our endeavours we often fall flat. 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. A number of related proverbs such as "Union is Strength", "United We Stand; Divided We Fall" and "Strength is in Unity" have been coined in the past. Many stories have also been written to explain how staying united and maintaining cordial relations with others renders strength. When we stand united we can fight anything or anyone as we become more powerful. On the other hand, if we fight with our neighbours, friends and relatives and constantly try to prove that we are better than them then in the end we shall be left alone. This is true for every relationship as well as in our professional life. When we work as a team and help each other out, we are able to work better on a project. On the contrary, if we have conflicts within the team then we are likely to fall short. We cannot deny the importance of staying united in various situations. Believing in these words of wisdom and acting according to them helps build a better life and countering them can create difficulties. A common example to explain the same can be a family situation. If all the members in a family stand united and help each other with their tasks each one of them will benefit in the event. However, if they counter each other at every instance and try to enforce their ideologies and rules on each other, they shall never be happy. Besides creating a tense environment at home which is especially bad for the growth of the kids, such an attitude will also encourage outsiders to take advantage of the situation. If we look around, the families where people respect and take care of each other are happier. The children there get a healthier environment which is essential for their all round development and the adults in the family also live a wholesome life. They depend on each other and take it as their responsibility to fulfil all their duties with joy. They do not crib, complain or conspire against each other. On the other hand, the families where people don't stand by each other and are busy trying to put the others down do not only ruin their own life but also that of their coming generations. People belonging to such families often feel lonely and end up in depression. The proverb came into being centuries back and is still used widely. If we understand its importance and implement it in our lives, we shall be able to do better in our lives. A number of related proverbs have sprung up from time to time. Some of these include "Union is Strength", "United we Stand, Divided we Fall", "Strength lies in Union", "Union gives Strength" and "Strength is in Unity". Though the wordings of these proverbs vary slightly, their meaning is the same. It is that when we are united we are stronger compared to when we move alone and plan against our own people. Many fables have also been written to explain this proverb. Some of these include the stories on the farmer and his sons, the flock of doves and the lion and four bulls. The moral of all these stories is "Unity is Strength". Many of these have been taught to us in junior classes. While children are taught the importance of staying united during their school days however they are not given the right kind of environment to practice it. There is so much competition in today's world that people have forgotten the concept of "Unity is Strength". They are only running after success and see their peers as a hindrance in the same. The competition begins at the school level itself. At the time when good moral values must be inculcated in children, their parents are busy comparing them with their classmates, cousins and friends. They constantly nag their children and pressurise them to outperform the others and hence all these children can think about is to defeat their peers. Instead of standing united with their classmates and friends they view them as their competitors and look for opportunities to show them down. With time this attitude only grows stronger. In the corporate offices these days, or for that matter in every profession, the competition is extremely tough. Even if a project is to be handled as a team everyone tries to steal the limelight and take the credit rather than focusing on working and winning as a team. The world would be a better place if we inculcate this in our lives.
