The phrase, "United we stand" has been used numerous times in history to rally people together; it can make the cries of impoverished and hungry heard, voice the desires and dreams of a new generation, and show the support of a community. This unity reveals an asset in human beings that is so powerful yet so easily overlooked due to our inability to physically grasp it: connection. With unity accumulating the masses towards a mutual goal, it is easy to overlook the fact that such an assembly can originate from one single person.
So how does one become hundreds? Thousands? Millions? Although intangible, an idea can leave a strong influence on people; it can change or reinforce a person's beliefs. But as influential as an idea can be, it is simply just that: an idea. That's where that one person comes in, to take this idea and take action to find others to connect with it. That one person tells another person about it, then those two people tell two others, then those four, etc. creating a chain reaction that is almost impossible to stop from spreading; soon the whole city will know about it.
This idea of uniting others to one idea through one person is not a recent discovery. Think of a major historical event around the world and more than likely you can put a face to it. Those people probably weren't the first to think of the ideals they stood for but they certainly were the ones that helped unite others to fight for it alongside them. I'm sure you have a lot of ideas running around in your own head, some just waiting for you to take action. So my question to you is this: Are you that one person?
