You are right on that but as the saying goes divided we fall united we stand.

We are already divided by more than you would like to imagine. What is important is that all parts realize of it, and of the reasons why this is so.

If that unity isn't established things are going to look grey. Any ways I don't think that this unity will ever be established and when it comes it will be to little to late.

It is important that people realize because that way they will move in the right direction and not waste time and resources with such small margins of likelihood.
I agree on the need for unity and I know too that the day that people realize it will be too late. It is, in fact, late for some already. And things do not happen overnight.
However, there are also reasons for the opposite. Namely, negative influences.
