The previous article discussed some of the causes of the conflicts that fragment society and impede its peace, such as ignorance, intolerance, injustice, and lack of acceptance of others. It also pointed out that inculcating the concept of diversity takes a lot of hard work.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Just as diversity is one of the pillars, acceptance of diversity is also based on the idea of living together. The people of the same nation must realize the necessity of their unity for the progress and stability of their nation. Without doubt, we are all in the same boat; if it capsized, everyone would drown; if it drifted, everyone would be lost; but if it sailed peacefully, everyone would be safe. Living together is the key to stability and success.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The word \u201ctogether\u201d is one of the most important factors of stability, success and prosperity in any country. To be together, we have to know the way to living together. One of the most important messages of history is that together, we can achieve our goal, whereas divisions only lead to failure and defeat. I would like to present to you two events from the pages of Egyptian history, so as to highlight the difference between when the people of the homeland came together and when they were divided, and how this affected the results of the two situations.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n When we consider the battle of al-Tall al-Kabeer, Orabi and the army were defeated while the British forces were victorious, after a battle that lasted nearly 30 minutes! In the diary, while on his way to exile to the island of Ceylon, Orabi wrote that he was arrested before he could wear his military boots! This happened despite the success previously achieved when the British failed to enter \u201cKafr al-Dawar\u201d due to the bravery of the Egyptian army. It turned out that the cause of the defeat was betrayal and lack of unity among all, so the enemy found those who provided them with information about loopholes in the army, which led to defeat and occupation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, there were continuous attempts by the occupation forces to dismantle the Egyptian unity during the 1919 revolution, but the Egyptians were not deceived, and their national movement reached its peak then. A historian said about it, \u201cIt was a popular revolution, heart and soul. Everyone participated, including farmers, workers, employees, women, men, Muslims, and Christians. At this point, the Egyptian movement was clearly evident.\u201d Therefore, the revolution succeeded in obtaining its demands.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The unity of the people of the nation together offers them:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Acceptance of diversity and having the ability to live together lead to peace and progress in society.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Indeed, the talk about \u201cBeautiful Egypt\u201d is endless.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n General Bishop<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Head of the Coptic Orthodox Cultural Center\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The previous article discussed some of the causes of the conflicts that fragment society and impede its peace, such as ignorance, intolerance, injustice, and lack of acceptance of others.
