A Common Goal?

Is there a single goal that all human beings are interested in reaching? What is it? Try to develop a method or approach to living by which all human beings can achieve this end. What reasons do you have for believing that this method or approach to living will help all human beings get closer to this end if allowed?

I think that a goal all humans share is their search for happiness. However we all find diffrent things fulfilling. One person might find happiness in their job, another spending time with their family, and maybe another doing a favorite hobby. All people search for happiness, it's what we want in life. All of us are motivated by our desires. Most of us are here in college to study for a career we want to pursue. Or we're here because we want to appease a family member who insisted we attend. Do we ever really do anything that's not to our benifit? Yes, a lot of the time I don't really want to do my homework, but I do want to graduate, and that can't happen if I don't do my homework. Also some of us might really not enjoy our job, but we want the money that we get for doing it. So I would say that we do almost everything we do to promote our own happiness and fulfilment.

I'm not sure there is an approach to make sure that everyone has a fulfilling life. For example if two people need the exact same job to find fulfillment, one of them is not going to get what they want. Or maybe both a friend and I want to exclusively date the same guy, we can't both get what will make us happy... and what if it wouldn't make the guy happy to date either one of us? I think the only way we could all reach our goal of fulfillment is if none of our needs intersected, or if we could all acheive happiness in a way that wouldn't interfere with the happiness of another person. I don't think that it is realistically possible but that would have to be the approach for everyone to reach thier common goal.
