Perhaps it is our concepts, how single words encapsulate many different emotive words and expression, yet are commonly understood in and of themselves, as well as Doc Martin boots?

I'm not sure I heard the answer.
"Unites," as in brings us all together, or
"Unites," as in a common feature that we all have?
"I am thinking of aurochs and angels, the secret of durable pigments, prophetic sonnets, the refuge of art. And this is the only immortality you and I may share, my Lolita." -- Vladimir Nabokov
A need for oxygen to survive.
The idea that we are an organic whole unites us.
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
War. It unites humanity for technological advancement. My 2 cents
Well, one might say that we are all the same in that each of us is different from everyone else.

“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

"We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak." (Epictetus)
Man tends not to listen, but only if we did, we'd be getting somewhere.
Only if we are able to deprogram ourselves and live as real as mountains, rivers, forests, animal and birds.
Only if we demolish this civilization.
Only if a new dawn comes after another great war.
If we forget that we have religions, geographies and the like
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
Objectivity is our shared subjectivity.
What we share is that all normal humans structure thought in the same way. It is upon this foundation that we can find that which we all share, and it is upon this one and only foundation can we find something that will unite us as one.
