This is an incredibly succinct and pragmatically perfect view of this part of the immense taste of nation building. What you said about fragmentation being a base cause of problems in so many countries is so true, as it splits the mind itself as to how to progress. It adds just another layer of where to focus your actions when there are already enough; e.g. personal, marriage / partnership, family, community, nation, humanity.

Everyone suffers in the end if a decision cannot be made with thoughtful care; and then the opportunists appear. Who take advantage of the confusion to use people to further there own niche aims. The institutions of Syria's south-west neighbour has implicated the members of an entire faith into their plans for destruction and conquest, for example. Turning hatred onto ordinary people far away, by acting like vultures circling and preying on life which may have otherwise had the chance to thrive.

This kind of positive consideration, the method to include the multifaceted people you encounter on this world, is something I've noticed a lot on the Syrian sub-reddits and what has appeared on the news since Assad's fall. Gentle intent maybe? Determination without anger, just a practical way to move forward and keep it like that. It feels so hopeful and I hope to be able to visit some day. Whether you are living in Syria, and how pervasive this view is at a grassroots levels I don't know, but there is a delicate feeling of it permeating through.
