What does togetherness mean to you?

Togetherness, in my understanding, is a strong feeling and affection of closeness between friends or family members.
There are some other names that you can use to describe togetherness, like unity, relationship, and cooperation.

For someone to be together with one another, there must be peace, harmony, and unity.

Togetherness plays an important role in our daily lives because it helps us to reach our goals and it also helps us to make things grow very fast.

When we come together as one, we can achieve many goals because we will be sharing many opinions on how to improve our goal or business.

How can we create a stronger sense of community in our lives?

To create a stronger sense of community in our lives, we need to define the interests of everyone within the community. When people with the same interests come together, it is easier and faster for them to grow.

The community has to do with people of the same interests coming together to pursue a given goal. When we have a particular goal that everyone is working towards, then we can be sure that the community is geared towards unity and harmony.

So, in my opinion, creating a stronger sense of community has to do with having people of the same interests and beliefs. Here in Steemit, for instance, all Steemians desire to build their Steem power and support each other, which aligns with the desire and goal everyone is pursuing.

What activities do you think bring people closer together?

There are lots of activities that bring people together to each other, and I will be using Steemit as a case study. Firstly, here on Steemit, you will agree with me that the curation team is a collection of people from different parts of the world, and they always come together when selected to work as a team.

So this means that work can bring people closer to each other. In every community, when people have a common interest, it is easier and faster for them to work since their target or goal is to achieve something.

What are some challenges to togetherness in today’s world?

One of the major challenges to togetherness in today's world is having different interests or goals. People can't function together if they have different interests from one another.

As a Steemian, if you and a friend do not have the same goal, then the growth won't be the same because the focus and target are divided. One may be interested in powering up, another will be interested in cashing out, and this will make them both not align.

How can we support each other during tough times?

To support each other during tough times the first thing we must do is to ensure we know what the problem of the person is. You can not solve a problem you don't know.

Once you know the problem, you can then go ahead to provide solutions to the best of your ability because, in a community, what affects one person affects the others.

So, rendering financial assistance, advice, and many more are the basic ways in which we can support each other during tough times. So knowing the issue is the first thing that we must take into consideration.

I want to finally invite @simonnwigwe, @josepha, and @dave-hanny to also join the contest.
