We fight for equality,
and it’s a just thing,
an overdue thing,
a beautiful thing,
but until we turn
our attention to unity,
we will continue to fight.
Equality
implies separateness,
which we are in reality,
but not BEYOND reality,
as beyond we are One.
One imagining reality.
One imagining separation.
One imagining differences.
One imagining multitudes.
One imagining equalities
and inequalities.
Unity.
This unproven perspective
seems not to help us in reality,
which seemingly requires
confirmation rather than faith.
But we imaginary selves
who have faith know:
This, too, shall pass.

In our pursuit of equality, we must also recognize the importance of unity. While equality addresses the just and necessary goal of fairness and justice for all, unity reminds us of our fundamental interconnectedness.
Equality acknowledges the existence of separateness and works towards eradicating disparities. However, unity recognizes that beyond the realm of separateness lies a deeper truth – the oneness that unites us all. It is the understanding that at our core, we are interconnected and inseparable.
While equality focuses on equal rights and opportunities, unity transcends these boundaries and calls for a shift in consciousness. It invites us to see beyond the illusions of division and differences, and embrace our shared humanity.
In the pursuit of unity, we come to realize that we are not separate individuals fighting for equality, but rather interconnected beings striving for collective well-being. Unity reminds us that our true power lies in our ability to come together, to bridge divides, and to celebrate our diversity while recognizing our fundamental unity.
So, as we continue our fight for equality, let us also cultivate a sense of unity. Let us remember that we are part of a larger whole, and that our actions and intentions ripple out beyond ourselves. Together, through unity, we can create a more harmonious and just world for all.
