I believe that we, as humans, share more than the common cells and elements that form our bodies. There is something more; a connection that binds us together. We are all unique in our thoughts, beliefs, lifestyles and yet we all share so many common experiences. It is this concept, the shared human experience or connection that I would like to explore. Through this blog I hope to gain a better understanding of the nature and evolution of our humanity. To do this I need your help!

I am asking that you share your experiences with me. A story of a kind stranger, a life lesson, anything or anyone who has had an impact on your life. Also, I will be posting a series of "deep" life questions and I would love to hear what you all have to say. Please feel free to share as little or as much as you want. You can remain anonymous or share every detail, all I ask is that you be completely honest. No judgement here, I just hope to better understand and appreciate those with whom I share this planet.

Are we really all that different?

So lately I have started watching a show where high level executives trade in their fancy ties and offices for entry level positions within their own company. In each episode there are of course, heart warming stories of struggling parents or people inflicted with illness who are helped by their new found relationship with the "boss". This is not the focus of my current blog. What I found the most interesting is something one of the "bosses" said recently. He stated that without the corporate desk between them the people of his company really opened up. He believed that without hiding his identity he would not have been able to work successfully along side of his entry level employees, because they would be uncomfortable with him around. I guess this is probably true, considering the power he wields. What I want to know is, why?

Why do we allow social status/ class to change our relationships with those around us? Aren't we all just people?

    think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
