What is Unity?
By Brad Bell
Unity is an important concept. Unity is a word that may be used in a number of contexts. There may be a number of definitions of unity. What is unity? Below is one definition of unity.
Unity Definition:
Unity is the experience of being united. Unity can be described as a feeling of oneness with people in general.
Unity Examples:
The feeling of oneness with people in general may reflect that there is a perceived commonality in one's purpose in life. For example, most people may share a common purpose to find happiness and meaning in life. Also, this feeling of oneness may reflect that one's self-concept reflects to a significant degree a feeling of identification with people in general. This may be described as a universal identity. However, this sense of universal identity does not imply that a person identities with all people. People may not identity with certain individuals, but still have a general sense of unity with people. In my utopian novel, A Bright Purple Sky, (Bell, 2019), there is information on universal identity.
