One common thing that we all share with each other and what, most ironically, is the root cause of most of the conflicts and feuds among us, is our need to feel right in our own ways, and therefore our need to be told so constantly.
We have a strong and natural need for justification for the things we believe in and then the things we allow ourselves to do under the auspices of our personal beliefs. We can become immensely powerful, astoundingly wealthy and highly influential within our circles, but our need to incessantly seek justification for our being actually never goes away. This in fact grows stronger in us as we become stronger ourselves. And it is by no mean any less stringent when we are not doing so well in our lives.
We always like people around us to tell us how good we are and that we are right. We assume this to be our birthright that we find our selves ready to guard against most jealously than anything else in our possession. Even when we open ourselves to the critiques of others, we do this reservedly, with an air of self-importance. We believe that this is just to pinpoint and bring out the inherent goodness and greatness in us that has just gone out of focus momentarily. We let, what we think is bad about us, become a target just because we believe that we are more right than just being right so far. We may not know this but we do believe that we are indispensable in the world, and without us nothing would have existed or at least should not exist, but we are never sure whether we are right?

All born from a vagina? Ever heard of a C-section?
All have emotions, know the emotion of hate? Ever heard of persistent vegetative state (some are born that way)?
Life? Ever been to a morgue, mortuary, funeral or cemetery?
A head? Heard of the guillotine?
Spirit beings? That’s pretty subjective…
Eat food? Not the abandoned babies who starve or freeze to death.
Breathe air? How about the babies who die before being born?
All die? That’s debatable – read up on cryogenics.
Bleed? That one is pretty likely I guess, but no guarantee – with 7 billion of us it is conceivable someone might not bleed in their lifetime – especially if it is a short lifetime.
But hey, cheer up, there is one thing we all have in common – on this planet you can’t get away from Adenosine, Thymine, Guanine or Cytosine. Human or otherwise. Them’s be earth’s base pairs, and can’t nobody take them away from us!

The one thing everyone on earth has in common is that we were all descended from Noah.
Those who say the one thing everyone on earth has is common is that we'll die is incorrect because there are millions of people on earth who are already dead so technically they can't have the same in common as the rest of us who are alive
Of course this does not hold true if we are descended from apes as some people believe.

All in orbit 'round the sun on a little blue and green planet, completely unaware that the Earth is a computer paid for and run by mice...

There is more than one thing we have in common:
We all have the ability to learn (if not seriously mentally handicapped), to love, to show compassion, to give of oneself to others, to be kind to those less fortunate than oneself.
The ability to be utterly selfish, ruthless, cruel, unkind to those who cannot fight back, to belittle persons you think not in your educational or social domain.
So why the hell do the majority of us choose the latter option ?

Well you can't say life because we die...
You can't say food for some starve themselves
You can't say air because some folks choke to death
You can't say death because some of us are alive
You can't say being borned becasue Adam & Eve were never borned
My answer is we have all cried weather it was a birth or another time in our life including Adam and Eve
