Solidarity is unity (as of a group or class) that produces or is based on unities of interests, objectives,

standards, and sympathies. It refers to the ties in a society that bind people together as one. The term is
generally employed in sociology and the other social sciences as well as in philosophy or in Catholic social
teaching. In addition, solidarity is a core concept in Christian democratic political ideology.

The purpose of solidarity is to build our movement, and to embody our mutual care and concern for justice.
Solidarity works best when we respect each other’s differing needs and life circumstances, understand
that there are many ways of being in solidarity, and co-ordinate our responses. It does not work when we
attempt to coerce, shame or inflict guilt upon each other, even subtly.

Solidarity is simply a phenomenon that exists. Solidarity can be simple a way of lifestyle. To support
someone and stick by him in good and bad, in his success and failures. It’s nice and correct to help and
support each other. In any field of our lives.

Today word solidarity is experiencing a crisis. How is this possible?

The reason for this might be our silly prejudices, envy, and our will or determination to change something.
How many times would be enough so little. But we all make excuses. Where did the original meaning of
the word solidarity disappear? Each one should judge himself first. Let us start to act different. The feeling
to help somebody should be mutual and equal, but of course it does not work this way. In our lives there
are some who devote and dedicate their lives for others and there are others who mostly just enjoy it.
Manipulators, controllers, abusers never question themselves, instead the trust of the innocent is the
useful tool for them.

A dictionary defines the word solidarity as supporting each other, reciprocity, fellowship and equality. It’s
a simple definition of the word, which of course would mean a lot more than just its literal meaning.
People are necessarily dependent of each other in different ways depending on one another.

“The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with
himself” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The will to communicate and understand people, in spite of differences between cultures, is a way to
implement solidarity: it is a recognition that we belong to the same body, we can’t ignore other people.

The principle of solidarity can be expressed by simple formula as per my humble natural way:

“Interdependency – mutually and equally”

Let interdependency NOT for materialistic benefits and materialistic manipulations! If do, again the same
will be under controversy, conflicts and chaos with many perceptions and interpretations that should be
avoided at any cost. It’s my kind concern for the practical natural healthy living.

As you become more aware, more at peace, you develop more confidence, which automatically brings
out your skills. The time is changing, not to create a world of inequality, but to express balance, hope,
wisdom, and the unique gifts that both men and women share with one another and with the world.
Certain thoughts can be implemented in the day today practical life to refine oneself to be better and best.

1. Learn the art of listening without getting defensive. Be open in thinking, not rigid in positions
unless you are true to yourself with moral obligations.
2. Challenge and critique other groups and individuals in constructive ways, in a spirit of respect for
the morals and culture of each if any.
3. Never make assumptions, predictions, or interpretations no matter what a person looks like or
what groups they belong to.
4. Avoid tactics, hypocrisy, judgmental and competition as we all need co-operation and
interdependency.
5. Refrain from personal attacks, even with people who strongly disagree. Always focus on how you
feel, not what they did.
6. Understand and accept each our priorities, choices and chances through thoughtful and
intelligent consideration of issues, circumstances and experiences in a systematic and disciplined
way.
7. Never put people at risk or pull them who have not chosen for. Respect and value each other’s
personal space and time.
8. Respect the work of all, as all works has its own dignity and morals.
9. Share and care for food, water, medical, other supplies for the needy and deserved in time and
support everyone who is hurt, gassed, abused, shot or beaten.
10. Respect the rights to do a certain type of work or job at certain times and places, if you choose to
participate, do so within the tone and tactics they set; if you do not agree, do not participate or
interfere.
11. Understand that our actions, words, deeds and tactics have repercussions that go beyond
ourselves and our immediate groups. Learn the art of silence and the quality to maintain and
balance, to cultivate peace within and all around.
12. Always talk about your strategy not others, to value and respect yourself as well as others as
oneness in nature.
