are we so simiral????????

Reading and participating in some of the blogs, I realized that maybe it is not so Terra incognita this site. despite cultural and geographical differences , our human pursuits are basically common.
love, happiness ,friendships ,social prestige and economic prosperity are some of our commons.its obvious , to me,that most differences come from our religious identity.perhaps the only, that gives us the diversification along with our own character.
Eventually are we much more similar than they want us to believe ??????
