First of all, I would substitute “human” for “man.” This is a statement which applies to women also. As I get older, I’m astounded by both the similarities and the differences between people. As the statement says, all of us are the same in some ways—we all have emotions or have had them at one time. We may have buried them due to depression/mental illness. But if we’re human we know about emotions. We all have brains so we have all known what it is to think—maybe not deep thought—but we’ve all entertained ideas of some sort.
Some of us are like some other people but not all. For example, some of us have horrible tempers. We become irrational. We go crazy when we get angry. But obviously not all of us. Some of us hold our anger in and give a person the silent treatment or hold a grudge for years. Some of us love material things. They may not be the same things, but they’re material. Cars, clothes, houses. But not all people love material things. Some people enjoy minimalism. They want to travel light.
Then there may be something completely different about each one of us. Something unique. This is harder to imagine. We would have to interview people, and it’s possible that we would find something weird, wonderful, quirky about each one. For me it would be my loss of religious faith when I encountered the power of what I believe to be the supernatural force responsible for everything. This seems to be about as unique as it gets.
So basically this statement is saying that all people have something in common, some people have things in common with some others but not all, and all people probably have something unique—something different from anyone else. Maybe we can all think about what this may be. I’ve got mine already.
