UNIFY!
DON'T CRY, UNIFY!
Unity is not group uniformity. Not everyone is necessary in order to achieve unity or to unify. Only two or more people can succeed, or have succeeded, in contests or battles pitting minorities against majorities. Lesser against greater .
Proof of this fact, that unity does not mean uniformity, is found in the recent election, in history, and in the Bible 's parables and allegories.
These thoughts are offered to help those who may be deceived by, or discombobulated by, the election of Donald Trump as USA President.
For those who are in unwarranted despair, who are anxious, fearful and apprehensive about what the future may hold for themselves, and for our country, this is written.
Unity is not uniformity; it does not require uniformity; indeed, unity disdains uniformity, wherein, but a sole exception can destroy the whole structure, the entire edifice of uniformity-based undertaking .
The elections of Obama are proof, themselves, of this proven, truthful principle, inhering in historical fact.
So, rather than cry, unify! with the few who agree with you, and go to work, doing what the spirit says do!
"Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them."
Matthew 18:19-20
