Why humans are like smart phones – shared humanity explained in 4 min

We are not that different from one another because of our skin colors, our ages, our nationalities, and our social statuses, if we realize that we have a shared "Human Operating System" – our emotions.

How come emoji is the most used language on earth?
Why does music have no borders?
Why can we be touched by Shakespeare's plays?
Or even why do we watch "Planet Earth"?
We will be able to answer all these questions if we get to understand our "Human Operating System" – our emotions.

Humans are just like phones. It comes with a physical phone, an operating system, and loads of apps.

The physical phone is our bodies. We all come with similar hardware. Just like phones all having big touchscreens, cameras, and volume buttons, we humans all have similar body parts - one head, two eyes, two hands, two legs…

The operating system is the emotional side we all possess as humans: fear, joy, anger, frustration, tiredness, disappointment, guilt, shame, happiness, sadness, excitement, grief, relaxation… We are born with this package, I have them, you have them, babies have them, 80-year-olds have them, people from Europe have them, people from Asia have them, people alive now have them and people who lived 5000 years ago also have them. This is our humanness and it is shared by all. 

Apps, on the other hand, are the knowledge we load to our respective brains. Depending on your own unique experience - what books you read, which culture you are from, what schools you went to - they can differ from person to person drastically. 

You see, the magical thing is even though we may have very different "apps"-not everyone understands Spanish and not everyone understands accounting- our operating systems are very similar and we communicate effectively through that at all times: babies don't speak a word, but we can understand what they want by reading their cries and laughs.

If we look at our "operating systems", we are so more connected than we are separated.
