EQUALITY

 

 

 

                                       EQUALITY

Equality is defined as parity, similarity, uniformity, evenness, sameness , etc. Equality before law has no exception. All humans are said to be equal but they are not. Some are superior to others. Moreover, all humans are not born with the same fate. Only a few are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Most of the children are born of poor parents. Whether poverty is God-made or man-made is a disputable question. Had it been God-made, it wouldn’t have been there.  Economic differences are man-made. They are due to socio-political laws.

            Given below are some general views  about equality.

1.All men are by nature equal, made, all, of the same earth by the same Creator, and however we deceive ourselves , as dear to God is the poor peasant as the mighty prince.

2.It is not true that equality is a law of nature.---Nature has no equality---Its sovereign law is subordination and dependence.  

3. Some must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay.

4. Men are by nature unequal. It is vain, therefore, to treat them as if they were equal.

5, So far is it from being true that men are naturally equal, that no two people can be half an hour together but one shall acquire an evident superiority over the other.
