Are we all equal? Is it even possible to attain equality in we humans? Our civilization has existed for many years, and the progress has resulted in more division.
Then it was rich and poor, now we have added multifold divisions. With the advancement of modernization and a technology-driven world, we are seeking ultra humans. There is no room for mediocre.
When we compare nations, the richer ones are selling arms, medicine, and technology to the poor and developing ones. Where is equality? The underdeveloped are turning into colonies for developed nations, giving up natural resources and human labor.
Can a student from remote India compete with metro kids? Is he/she not lagging in the advancement? How is it equality when they both get thrown at the same treadmill for seeking a future opportunity?
The market has self-help books and inspirational videos. They must be making billions selling us dreams and preaching equality, belief, motivation, etc.
Can a daughter of your maid equal to your daughter?
The laborer working in the coal mine, his kids running around has an equal opportunity like your kids?
How many farmers’ sons are competing with city boys for entrepreneurship or top management jobs?
Our media, politicians sprinkle Koolaid showing how a poor boy qualified an exam against all odds, a boxer winning medal for the country came from rugs. They never mention to you about millions of other broken dreams.
The gospel of equality is spread by a few who have everything; The rest world is still full of pain and suffering. Poors are dying because they have no money to buy medicines. The underage girls are still married because they are considered a burden for their parents. A farmer’s kid has to come to the metro and work like a donkey to save the family from dying hungry. What equality and opportunity do they have?
You are reading this, consider lucky and privileged. Thank your parents and ancestors for getting you a headstart against billion others in the rat race.
