We are, all different human beings, so we should never waste our short time on earth by comparing ourselves to anyone else.
We are unique individuals who should never compare ourselves to anyone else. We could compare ourselves today just with who we were yesterday and always try to be much better people tomorrow.
Everyone has different ideas, backgrounds, childhood, and life than we do. Just be yourself, enjoy it, and embrace it! Remember – We are all very special people, so reject inequality.
Every day, try to show the best version of yourself and respect yourself your natural surroundings, and your time!
Never identify yourself as a member of any particular party but as a registered voter. We are the solution and hold the key to the future of our planet.
When we say “We are all equal” what we should say is that we are all equal in moral worth or value. This is equivalent to saying that our unique life is of no more importance than the life of someone poor, someone living in another country, or someone who has different qualities to me. Men are equal to women, the rich are equal to the poor, the fast is equal to the slow, and so on.
There are probably infinite ways one person can differ from another person, but not one of those things makes one person’s life more or less sacred, important, or worthy of respect. If you are religious (as I am) you might see this as being equal in the eyes of God. But I don’t think you need to have faith in God to recognize the essential moral message of “We are all equal.”
First, you have the problem of justifying whatever it is you think makes some people better than other people. This is much more difficult than you might imagine. Take for instance a quality like ‘being clever'. Being clever certainly has the appearance of being a ‘good thing’ (ceteris paribus) and we might generally prefer ‘to be clever’ rather than not. But why does this property get to define what makes our life valuable? Why not beauty? Why not goodness? Why not be loved or be loving? Who thinks they can define the master quality of moral worth?
Worse still, as soon as we start down this road we find that we have undone one of the most basic principles of human rights and common morality. Once one group decides that they have the right to determine that some features of our diverse characteristics are the master characteristic, the key to moral worth, then morality leaves the room. We are no longer safe from being deemed worthless - or at least less worthy: “Some people are more equal than others.”
And don’t imagine that if you possess the required category yourself you are safe. The eugenic knife can always cut deeper. You may not be clever enough, beautiful enough, or pure enough. Standards can always be ‘raised’.
Perhaps one further defense of my position is that I would rather live in a world where people believe everyone is equal than in a world where some people think they are more important than other people. So we can choose, as Athenian democrats did, 2,500 years ago to treat equality as a fundamental principle of our society. It is a moral choice. Others may argue that we should pick their preferred characteristic, but notice that any selection will always advantage some groups and disadvantage others.
