So we diverge on Unum Virtue
The virtue of understanding, without unified communication
Ju-Long had just won a scholarship to Kenya to help villagers in a remote part of the country with a water problem.
He was joined by Athavan and Thomas from across the world, who won the same scholarship. The three men were to solve the problem together.
Travelling to Kenya to solve a problem for the poor was very rewarding to JuLong. Despite not knowing one word in Swahili, he was able to understand the needs of the villagers. In fact, none of the three men knew a common language, but they still understood each other while speaking their native language.
The virtue of feeling together, while alone.
Bella was feeling extremely lonely today. She wanted to talk to someone, but everyone was busy. Everyone except Annalise, of course. Bella walked over to the swing in her backyard with a mug of cotton candy flavoured juice in hand. Right when Bella took the first sip, Annalise showed up. The two spent hours talking, and Bella felt lonely no more. Drinking her favourite childhood drink allowed Bella to indulge in her favourite childhood time: telling her secrets to Annalise, her imaginary friend.
The virtue of having, without going to get it.
Susan was having an off week, nothing seems to be going her way, she lost her cat, found her boyfriend was cheating on her with her ex boyfriend. Work was keeping her super busy but she just couldn’t get her mind to concentrate. Susan had been skiing since she was 4 years, she started skiing with her father and instantly picked on the sport, by 16 she was one of the probable to represent Canada in the Winter Olympics, you see skiing is the only time she felt one with her self. She felt like she was on top of everything and nothing can go wrong. But given the month of July in Toronto with a project deliverable that would take the next 5 days of undivided attention to complete there was no way she could even think of skiing. Susan remembered her friend sharing a recent experience climbing Everest thanks to Mood Shopping. Given her tight schedule & current state of mind, Susan thought of giving it a try to experience what she experienced when she went skiing with her father. The process was as simple as sitting in a chair and lying down. The day was just halfway through and she was back on track thanks to the hours of skiing she just got done with in 30 minutes. Enthralled by her experience she now recommends the service to everybody.
The virtue of sharing perspective, without explaining.
Sunsets in Venice were just so breathtaking, Sophia couldn’t believe her eyes. As the gondola swayed from side to side, Sophia peered into the water and saw the reflection of a face she knew all so well.
It was such a magical experience, Sophia couldn’t wait to actually visit Venice. Sophia was on a tight budget and couldn’t afford a trip to Europe for the next two years. She felt and witnessed her sister Michelle’s perspective of Venice. The reflection in the water was Michelle’s.
The virtue of disasters, without demolishing.
Imagine if could stand in middle of earth’s core to experience the heat but not get burned Imagine if could stand in middle of tornado’s core to experience the wind but not get blown away Imagine if could stand in middle of earthquake to experience the shaking but not die Imagine if could stand in middle of lava river to experience it but also not die Imagine if could stand in middle of a storm and see the lightning and thunder generate but not get electrocuted If answer to any of question is yes, hop on the plane and fly to “Utopia” island to experience the “Experience” You would never forget the time spent

The virtue of feeling others, without being them.
Mira decided to sleep in, instead of going to the gym. She chose to stream Nadal on her smart watch.
Mira’s body burnt as many calories as Nadal did during his championship game.
All she had to do was sleep.
The virtue of letting go, without having to think.
The least stressful and most effortless part of my life is being able to let go.
I go into a white room and in one split second all of my jumbled thoughts are splattered on the wall.
Now I can live in peace, without overthinking.
The virtue of feeling fresh, without having new.
As Rob walks around downtown Beijing, he inhales deeply. Instead of breathing in car exhaust and grime, his lungs are filled with fresh air.
Buildings have been built to restore the original healthy ecosystem of the earth. They fight air pollution when sunlight hits the surface of the building, and antioxidants and free radicals are released into the air, breaking down soot and other toxins in the air.
The virtue of breathing, without no one.
The source of life: my lungs.
My brother took them on his trip to Everest. My aunt borrowed them during her pneumonia treatment. My teacher breathes with her students every day. My teacher doesn’t have lungs. We crowdsource life with our lungs.
The virtue of fighting, without help on the outside.
Baby Lucas was acting strange since birth, but doctors couldn’t identify what was the cause of the abnormality. Without surgery, his chances of survival may be close to none. But a surgery would be too risky for the newborn.
The team of doctors at the hospital saved his life by fighting side by side with Lucas’s personal army: his immune system. The doctors were the corporal's of different organs, with the cells as their soldiers.
The virtue of hydration, without overconsumption.
Matt feels anxious and nervous as he lays in the bright operating room but remains calm. He comforts the jittery feelings by thinking about the millions of people, including his friends and family who have done this operation before him. It is the year 2066 and Matt is about to go under for automated machines to implant a micro neurochip into his brain. The purpose of the neurochip is to replace functions of the hypothalamus in the human brain. The hypothalamus was originally crucial to controlling behaviors such as hunger, thirst, sleep, sexual response in the human body. However, as clean water, the essence to life on Earth became more and more scare due to environmental pollutants and other toxic contaminants, sanitation systems were not able to treat the overload of pathogens and waterborne diseases in time to produce clean water to the 10 billion people living on Earth.
Thankfully, bio-chemists and neuro-engineers were able to invent the micro neurochip to control the amount of water a human body requires, going from the recommended amount of eight cups a day, to just one cup of clean water a day. As Matt inhales the first breath of anesthesia, the trepidation fades away, as he feels a sense of relief, knowing that his body will be able to adapt and evolve with the changing world.
The virtue of protection, without voluntary self-defense.
It is a dark and stormy night in the year 2050. Alice is driving along the countryside road as she is making her way from Calgary to Saskatoon. It is a six hour drive to visit her sister for Christmas because all the flights were cancelled due to the snowstorm. Alice is mentally and physically fatigued from the long drive, but tries to force herself to stay alert because she is in the middle of nowhere, with no other cars around, and she knows how dangerous it can be to drive during a snowstorm. However, her eyelids grow heavier, and the windshield wiper blades can barely wipe off the rapidly falling snow. Alice nods off while she is behind the wheel and her car takes a nosedive off a cliff.
When Alice wakes up, she is in the guest bedroom at her sister’s house. Her sister tells her that she was in a horrible car accident and her clothing saved her. Smart clothing now is not only able to detect your vitals, but it is also able to identify where you are, alert 911, send an ambulance, and upload your medical history when you get into a serious accident. Alice’s clothing contained live medical sensors connected to the vast network of the Internet of Things, which is why her clothing was able to try to wake her up and alerted the authorities and send help as soon as she fell asleep behind the wheel, allowing her to survive her accident.
The virtue of speaking to all, without speaking at all.
I am sitting in my chair outside the house and suddenly the tree besides me gives out a cool breeze. I start feeling the soil on the ground is wet now and I can smell the fragrance of soil damp with rain water My dog comes running at me and licks me with love The chirping birds on the tree top start singing melodious songs The air suddenly starts feeling more fresh and full of oxygen My wife walks in with our 9 month old baby and I start playing with her

The virtue of being everything, without not being you.
I am not hungry today to eat outside food as I have consumed the energy generated from chlorophyll inside me and I feel rejuvenated I go to my room where I lie down on a bed and I can explore what’s in my baby girl’s mind and why hates cereal I finish reading mind and I think I need more air and water as I feel exhausted No worries, my skin can suck pure air and water vapor from the surroundings and I no more feel exhausted I am a tree now and I stand right in the backyard feeling the breeze of the air
Our virtue is to live. But, we live to die.
After expanding, we ask now…
Is our Unum virtue to live death?
Lots of love,
