There is a common truth we can all agree on in everything.

In his Metaphysics, Aristotle stated:

“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true”

Remember these 5 basic common truths if you ever forget that we have more in common with each other than we do differences.

Common Truth #1:  We are all human beings

Common Truth #2:  We all need food and water to survive

Common Truth #3:  We all need oxygen to survive

Common Truth #4:  We all bleed the color red, regardless of skin color, heritage, or religion

Common Truth #5:  We all know pain, love and fear

Finally, a few quotes from Bob Marley:

“Open your eyes, look within.  Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?”

“Me only have one ambition, y’know. I only have one thing I really like to see happen. I like to see mankind live together – black, white, Chinese, everyone – that’s all.“

“None but ourselves can free our minds.”

“Tell the children the truth.”

“You have to be someone.”
