Concordia res parvae crescunt

Concordia res parvae crescunt better know as Unity Makes Strength!
It’s a motto used by the dutch back in the time Holland still was a republic. It also still is the motto of Belgium, Bulgaria and Haiti.
The motto at first is just like any other motto but I started to wonder if there is some truth in it does unity really makes strength?
And I’ve got to be honest it does. When you don’t cooperate with your friends and neighbors things will go terribly wrong. For example having an argument with your neighbor about a fence or the need to go to war with your neighbor country because there is no other option. On the other hand you can be great friends with your neighbors and celebrate new years eve together with a glass of champaign or have multiple countries joining each other in organizations like the UN, EU or the NATO. Countries will certainly think twice about declaring war to NATO or EU member states.
And another example a football of hockey team can’t perform properly with out unity look at Real Madrid buying the best people in the business but not winning a major trophy cause they only bought players, who think there is an I in team.
But on the other hand there are teams who just feel know exactly what the other players do, what they think and how they will react on certain situations. This is unity and with unity comes strength which brings victory which brings happiness.
So to come to the bottom line of this post unity does it only bring strength it also brings happiness.
King of Belgium let’s just change your motto in to ‘Unity Brings Happiness’
