America Divided and the Path to Regaining Unity

​Unity does not come from laws or charters or treaties.

These merely record agreement in thinking, purpose, and action. Unity comes from within the people or it does not exist.
​
Character and good behavior are the foundation of unity.

Thomas J. Watson Sr., "Unity,"
​THINK Magazine, June 1946

​When was the last time we heard a presidential candidate talk about the need for individual character, individual good behavior and accepting personal responsibility for an individual's actions? Shouldn't our presidential candidates set the example for such important traits? Is that why those who exhibit such irresponsible actions make us feel so divided as a country . . . when they, themselves, exhibit so little character, good behavior, and responsibility . . . whether in our leadership positions . . . or out on our streets?

To men and women of character, the means by which we achieve an end matters.

We can make "unity" exist again: through character, good behavior and responsibility.
