- common; shared by all
Meaning
Nature is common to all yet uniquely unshared at X.9, a deliberately contrasting praise. Death is common to all yet unjust to some at LXXXVII.6, because his timing can cut youth short. Universality concerns reach or participation, not an assertion that everyone receives the same experience.
