BOND

BOND

To every material that comes together, either of same make-up or differing ones, there is always a unifier, a substance that glues them together, and continues to hold them together for as long as it has the powers to, and is permitted to. Families are not held together by blood, there are many families that have been torn apart despite being of same blood.

The things that hold people together are non physical, they cannot be seen nor touched with the physical eyes, but can be felt in the heart. The love that exists between families, the respect they have for each other, the joy they derive in being together, and the storms they have weathered together are the major instruments of bond and togetherness.

We may be divers in many ways, our tongue, skin colour, social status, religion, age, and race may differentiate us, but we are all of one source, we all are bounded together by one word: Humanity. We are humans first before anything else. We must keep our love and respect for each other intact, we must strengthen the things that unites us, we must seek bonding rather than separation.

It is our similarities that most strengthen us, not our differences; It is our desire to be united that moves us forward, not our selfishness; we must find a common ground on which our BOND is strengthened, we must look towards the good of the whole, rather than that of a part. We are better together, we are better as one, when our BOND is real, we can go beyond our limits.
