We are all human beings, we eat food that falls from a tree, drink water that comes out of a river, and our bodies are all made out of the same thing.
We inhabit this world, not knowing that we could all be very much alike in many ways for example, we all seek happiness, success, and love.
Whether you’re in Africa, Americas, or even Australia, you and I aren’t that much different.
This week’s facts are meant to point out differences rather than similarities, check them out:
