United we stand. It's a good sounding theory, but so is the theory of evolution. The theory of unity and the theory of evolution share other common factors. Neither of them have been proven reliable, but they have both been sucessfully used to deceive masses of people. Since the Garden of Eden til now, evil and deception have been the most prevalent forces behind shaping and directing the affairs of this world.
Talk is cheap and our good intentions are usually worthless.
It is only the results of our choices with which we must contend on a daily basis. Our hopes, wishes and idealist theories about the way things ought to be rarely coincide with the way things actually turn out. Our interpersonal relationships, from the family unit all the way up to the international negotiating tables echo the sounds of humanity crying out for peace, security and unity. But, just stand back and watch, and you will see marriages breaking up, families fighting and dividing, business associates double crossing each other, friends becoming foes, good times and merriment turning into bloodshed, and our play grounds becoming battle grounds. That same scenario also represents the larger ongoing pattern of international and global behavior between nations and blocs of nations as they, too, seek the elusive compatibility formula that many believe will eventually usher in the new age of universal peace and harmony.
