How Are We Humans the Same?

We are all the same.  All of us have the same needs and desires at our core.  We all need a sense of safety – shelter, food, love, acceptance.  These aren’t just desires we want fulfilled for ourselves either.  We also want these things for the humans we care about as well.  I have found this to be true no matter where you are on this planet.  As human beings we all desire the same things deep down. 

How these needs and desires play out may look a little different from human to human, but that is only because our life experiences have been different.  What we each consume and take in from media, family, friends, religious teachings, books, and the outside world, influences how we see and behave in this world. No matter what we face in life or take in from our experiences we never lose our basic human desires: to feel safe, to feel love, to love others, to be accepted, and to understand the people and world around us. 

Know that this is what it is to be human. Know that we are all the same.  Keep this in mind as you go through your day and interact with other humans. Yes, we are all the same. It is only the experiences that make us seem different.
