United We Stand-Divided We Fall

     

    Ali, Ameen, Rashid and Zahid were not just classmates, but they were like part of each other. They went to school together, helped each other in completing homework, share their food with each other and were always there for each other if any one of them get into any kind of problem. 

    Their teachers and other school children always used to admire their friendship and care for each other. After successfully completing their school they all managed to get into college studies together as well. Although, their studies were in different subjects but they love to hang around with each other whenever they got the chance. 

    Their families were also close to each other to keep them together, they were kind of incomplete without each other. They were inseparable. 

    As war broke out in their country and people started moving out of their land, leaving everything behind they were also pushed to leave their friends behind and migrate to another country to save their lives. This was very heart breaking for all of them. They insisted and begged their parents to stay back but its of no use. 

    All four of them decided to migrate together without informing their families so they should never be away from each other. They all packed their bags and decided to meet each other at a pre-selected spot. They all somehow managed to get away from their homes, without being noticed by their parents and reached at the place to meet their group. 

    They all planned to migrate and cross the border together. A boat arrived to pick them up, it was already full of people, it didn't seem safe to them but since, they had no other option to leave their country therefore, they all took this boat for departure. 

    Unfortunately, this boat sunk in the sea after struggling to survive for 2 hours. However, all four friends although seems drowning in deep waters, but they took each other's hands and managed to help each other to survive this accident. 


Example of Unity

    It seems a simple story, however it has a huge lesson for all those who keep fighting over their differences, without realizing that fighting on differences is of no use rather keep bringing them down in front of each other. 

    On the other hand if we focus on building our strength by promoting positivity, supporting each other to improve, develop and progress it will lead them towards excellence and nothing would stop them reaching the heights. 

    Nations today even in this age of technology, exemplary resources are still not focusing on building and improving their bi-lateral relations through trade, commerce, communication, agriculture, industrial and other sectors of mutual interest instead of fighting, going for war, killing innocent and helpless civilians is not going to bring them any benefit whatsoever. 

    Huge spending on buying weapons to kill human beings has never been the solution of any problem. Getting everything in this temporary worldly life is not the real purpose of human creation. Humanity needs peace and stability to survive, flourish and improve the lives of coming generations so they could breathe and live in a better world.
