I'm not asking if you are a humanist- that's become an ideology of it's own these days. I'd simply like to know whether you believe in humanity. Whether there are inherent virtues and faults in all of us, so-called H. Sapiens, and that we have as a whole an underlying thread of commonality that binds us. That we as humans share a common fate, that we are inextricably linked by our own nature. That we all share certain traits, whether obvious, latent, or expressed in varying ways and degrees. That no matter how how disparate our backgrounds, we have in us a certain potential, a creative spark that can only be called human. There is some merit to the observation that human civilization is markedly convergent; we have developed along similar lines regardless of the barriers presented by culture, language, and geography.
I won't give my answer just yet, I will eventually though. Perhaps someone that comments may change my perspective.
