Common ground.

"What unites us as human beings is our desire to be treated with dignity, our need to belong,
our migratory heritage, our dependency on a sustainable ecosystem. What unites us is our common ground."

This is what others believe unites all human beings.

There is no human existence that ist completely independent from any system. So we are all depened on each other.
