Unity is the feeling of being together and staying together. Unity is strength. The concept of unity was well explained by the typical example which featured a bundle of sticks, tied together. Breaking this bundle of sticks was not possible. While if we isolated the sticks and take only one at a time, it can be easily broken into pieces. In the words of Charles Ives, “A rare experience of a moment at daybreak, when something in nature seems to reveal all consciousness, cannot be explained at noon. Yet it is part of the day's unity.” As such, unity is something which binds people work together to work synergistically as one cohesive unit. Unity is important to work effectively with a common goal so as to realize some common aims. In the words of Ernst Toller, “And suddenly, like light in darkness, the real truth broke in upon me; the simple fact of Man, which I had forgotten, which had lain deep buried and out of sight; the idea of community, of unity.”
