The Human Condition is what unites us. Shakespeare famously said, “All the world’s a stage… and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven stages.” What he speaks to is the perception that we are free-willed people making individual choices, but those actions are motivated by the same core needs true for all humans. At the end of the day, we need food, safety, love, connection, belonging, esteem and sense of purpose. If we remember that we have more in common deep down, then we have a better chance to appreciate all approaches to living a meaningful life.
