I want to dispel a partial truth I see floating around as wisdom right now. Privacy is power. I won't argue that some things are better accomplished in solitude, away from prying eyes and ears giving you a chance to work on your weaknesses and develop. But let's be clear. TRUE power is in UNITY. Think over Anne Frank, or the Underground Railroad. Both needed stealth to succeed, but neither put them in a position of power. Fast forward to Modern Jews in today's world. How does a minority of approximately 16 million people dominate so much of the world's economy? Unity. Unwavering unity. We could learn a lot from them.

Some African proverbs about unity include:
"Unity is strength, division is weakness"
"When spiders unite, they can tie down a lion"
"Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable"
"Teamwork without cooperation leads to confusion"
"Izandla ziyagezana" which means "hands wash each other"
"Ubuntu" which means "I am a person through other people" or "I am because we we are"
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together"
