Across the board, any culture, any age most people consider themselves happy.
Research proved that across the world most people consider themselves happy. The figures came about almost exactly equal to eachother (percentage wise). Similarly, few people considered themselves unhappy and the figures (percentage) were almost equal for sadness as well.

I suppose if you step back and analyze- you would come up with a bell curve-
it would show that a majority of people share the same range of emotions such as happiness and sadness- but at the extremes of the bell curve you have folks that are outside the norm.
So... in short, no, ALL people don't share the same degree of sadness and happiness.

I disagree. I remember a photo I saw in National Geographic of a little girl about four years old who was carrying bricks in a brickyard in India. She was carrying bricks from dawn to dusk in the hot sun. It was her family's occupation. She probably never had a chance to play after she learned to walk.
And don't forget that the majority of the world's population is infested with parasites, which we don't have to worry about here in the U.S. Being infested with malaria or Guinea worm or liver flukes or elephantiasis will surely ruin your day.
And some people are born hungry, stay hungry, and die hungry.

I don't think that everybody has the same share - there are varying degrees. Some people go through their entire lives without feeling anything - some go through tons of negative stuff and some are more blessed.

I believe all people have different emotions at one point/time in their lives. Sadness and Happiness depends on each individual everyone views it differently.

It is because everything in this world is repeating itself. People never learn from their mistakes and from other's mistakes. That's why no change occurs for an unchanging characters of man.

There's a possibility. You can have a feeling someone in the world also has. But, I don't think that's true.
