Equality is a beautiful word . When we say all men (and women ) are created equal , what a wonderful feeling it exudes! A world where every body is equal is just too great. But is this possible? Politicians of whatever hue swear by equality and want us to believe that they mean it when they say all men are created equal. They promise us a better tomorrow and keep the good today for themselves.
But is it correct to say that all men are created equal ? I beg to differ. Ineqality is a fact and like the DNA , is etched indelibly into our system. To think otherwise is to fool ourselves. No man is created equal intellectually. As long as there is intellectual inequality , there will be no social equality or finacial equality. Even in a socialist or communist system equality among citizens is a myth - there is a wide chasm between the leader and the led. Trying to bring about equality through legislation will never succeed as it is against nature and anything against nature is artificial and is doomed to failure. It will be like making all the fingers of the hand the same length and shape. Imagine that ! The hand will become useless if all the fingrs are of the same type. Threfore all this talk about equality is just futile exercise . One may engage in it if it makes one feel noble and great . That is all it will achieve. Inequlity has always been there and will continue doing so.
