Unity

From a distance you look like my friend,
Even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting is for.
'From A Distance' - Julie Gold

From a distance there is Unity and this world is at peace.  Close up however the truth is anything but this serene image.  In displays of great Unity, the Olympics, the Football and Rugby World Cups, the Commonwealth Games among others we come together and we stand side by side.  Despite the wars, the fighting, the grudges and the hostility we stand together in Unity.

This is quite a sombre post but there's not much on this you can really say, other than, in these times of Unity we stand side by side and it is so hard to believe that we want to kill each other.

If only the spirit of these games could last forever instead of a few weeks every 4 years.
