For the entire nation as well as for society, unity is crucial. A well-known saying goes, "Strength is always with Unity," and it truly means what it says. Unity stands for cooperation.
Rather than seeing ourselves as part of the Earth and intrinsically connected to her seasons, cycles and rhythms, our “I am separate” mindset causes us to behave toward the natural world as if we are not connected to it — as if it is something to own, use and dominate — resulting in unlimited resource extraction, pollution of our environment, degradation of our food and water, climate change, the extinction of species, and more.
We already have the technology to solve such problems; what we don’t have is the collective will. And we don’t have the collective will because we don’t have the wisdom.
Thankfully, there is another way to live.
In order to truly solve climate change, we must open ourselves to the realization of our unity with all of nature. Be curious; ask yourself these questions:
What problem do I see happening here, right now?
How am I part of the problem?
Who else can I join to help repair and resolve the problem?
Unity starts with discipline within one's self. Therefore, to have unity, discipline must exist within a person. That is a must in order to achieve a sustainable environment.
