Is life the same script just with different characters?

I have ponder this question many times over, particularly when it comes to relationships but I think it applies to life as a whole.

I mean are we really that different? The situations and enviroment might be, but I think it all comes down too what we all seek, that being to be HAPPY.

During that pursuit many of us share many experiences in common as human, which beg my question, is life the same script just with different characters?

Our similarities bind us together but our differences make us who we are.
