Don't forget what we share

Today, this 11th of September, I would like to remember that while we might not share religions (or nationality or sexuality or skin colour or politics or what side of the bed we sleep on), we do share humanity. All of us. You and me. Me and you and all of us.
Which matter the most to you - that which divides us, or that which unites us?
I know which one I'd like to matter. Unity. Humanity. You and me and all of us.
I know which one terrortists and fear-mongrers of all kinds would like to matter, and it is not the same one. They want you to think certain differences make us Not the Same. That certain differences are Right and certain are Wrong and only they can tell you which is which. Many listen to them. Many are afraid.
But we're still all human. We are all the same in that. Humanity is us.
Don't forget what we share.
You and me and all of us.
