There was a commonality in a lot of the private school experiences that I had of children whose lives were not their own. They thought they were their own, but they were essentially gifted this life by their parents. So they were spending money; they were going on trips - I guess, in a way, it is their life, but they didn't earn it.
Certainly I'm a Christian first and foremost. But I do believe in religious tolerance and finding the commonality between all of us. I think that's how we're all going to come together.
There is no time and space limitation for public accountability on the Internet. Creative commonality is standard and does not resemble the authoritarian style of the dead communist experience. It seems that it is no longer society's obligation to understand legislation; it is a duty for governments to be understood by their people.
The commonality between science and art is in trying to see profoundly - to develop strategies of seeing and showing.
The process of forming government in a minority is one where you talk to everyone and see: What do you have in common? And is there enough commonality?
What's important is to be able to see yourself, I think, as having commonality with other people and not determine, because of your good luck, that everybody is less significant, less interesting, less important than you are.
I know that when we interact with those we fear and hate, we will find commonality.
It is this, at its most basic, that makes science a humane pursuit; it acknowledges the commonality of people's experience.
Probably every person is some mixture of wanting to feel a sense of commonality and shared experience with others but also wanting to feel completely singular and unique.
Perhaps crisis forces commonality of purpose on one another.
