What defines us as human?
Our species?
Evolution?
Who deigned us humans?
How can people so different,
Different races, different ethnicities, different languages,
Always seem to find something in common?
Pain is universal,
Love, suffering, happiness, anger,
It seems that feeling is above our division.
How else can we be moved by Latin music?
Weep during a foreign film?
Gaze in wonder at ancient artifacts?
Our emotions drive our commonality.
A unit uninterrupted by past or future.
A multiplied presence.
7 billion nerves in a giant body.
Individual cogs in a collective machine.
