Theory of equality

DO WE really understand the principle of equality? The word implies we are all equal, all the same and all entitled to everything equally, but that is patently not the case. We differ in terms of human qualities, in morality and ethics, in skills and intelligence.

What then remains to make us equal when some seem quite uncivilised and inclined to exist contentedly on a lower level, or at least act as if they are at home at a lower level without trying to break free to a higher level of human existence? There are individual successes, but the group always fails. They always require the assistance of those on a higher level.

Inequality is sensed in the individual as a result of unsatisfactory group thinking and the group remains incapable of lifting itself higher. Success cases indicate the individual develops a discontent and then applies himself to rise to a higher level where he achieves equality. But not the group.

The most disturbing scenes of civil disorder and the loathsome, destructive acts of vandalism protesters commit make one feel equality is an illusion.

There are no reasons for the justification of equality when our values are so different. Society is divided into classes and we, the people, group ourselves into the class, higher or lower, where we feel we belong.

The individual with aspirations is the one who breaks free to a higher existence. We are all born equal, then immediately become unequal. From then on equality is something to achieve. You cannot just demand it.
