"団結すれば立ち、分裂すれば倒れる。"
— Aesop
Simplified Meaning:
When people work together and help each other, they are strong and can achieve much more. But, if they separate or fight among themselves, they become weak and are more likely to fail. Think of a soccer team: if all the players pass the ball and support one another, they are more likely to win the game. However, if each player tries to play alone without cooperation, the team will almost certainly lose, because they aren't using their combined strength and skills. In history, we can see this with the thirteen American colonies. When they united during the American Revolution, they were able to gain independence from Britain. If they had stayed divided, they might not have won. In daily life, this advice reminds us that working well with our family, friends, or co-workers makes tasks easier and leads to better results. It's like a reminder that we are stronger and can do more together than on our own.
