Something all people share despite our beliefs ...?

If you look at the how long I've been on Y!A you'll see I've hardly asked anything (8 questions, and almost 10,000 answers), and even less has been the number of times (only three times including this) that I've used it as a stage. But I've been profoundly touched by a video about our place in the universe.

Whether you be a theist or atheist, it's a humbling thought and I think we can all agree (unless you're a fundamentalist or YECreationist) that it's something that binds us all together regardless of our beliefs. There are some things we all share regardless of where they come from. Someday we will all hopefully accept each other for what we are without the need to dislike or distrust each other for it.

So I wanted to share, and hear your thoughts.

Have a fantastic day, and may the wind be always at your back, and the sunshine be always on your face. Well wishes to everyone.

Here's the video:

Horefully the re-post of the link works, if not, see the above comment.

Update 4:

@Sandy: I'll be sure to watch it. Thanks for sharing.

@Sandy: WOW! I'd never even heard of the movie. Incredible! Thank you so much!

Update 6:

LOL! "I'm the man!" -- So moving!

For everyone else:

Update 7:

@Dila: Thank you so much! We spend so much time in this forum arguing and pointing out our differences (I admit my guilt) I wanted to post something to remind us that no matter what we believe, we all share some things together!

Update 8:

@Dila: And since I forgot, salam alikum.

    It was short but profound ... thank you very much for sharing ... its impression will stay with me forever ...

    I thought you were trolling ...

    Nice Vid ... There is a line in the movie Beasts of the Southern Wild ... where the little girl says "I see that I'm a little piece of a big, big universe and that makes things right." that vid reminds me of that ...

    Thank you for writing this. I see so much hatred on here it's nice to see someone with a clear head.

    The link for the video doesn't work for me, but I too hope we can just learn to accept each other and not assert hatred on the face-value of others beliefs.
