We are all born free and equal – This is a basic Human Right and it is rightfully claimed and defended by all of us.
In the picture above, two people are pitted against each other.
Equality?Yes.! (There is no discriminating the size right.?)
Fair?
Nope.!
To actually think of Equality, Are we really equal? In the absolute sense of the statement?
On an average, there are 4 births every second. That is about 360000 births a day.! That is a lot of people.! According to the right, all these 360000 ‘infants’ are born equal.
The two kids in the picture present strikingly different images. The only "equality" visible here is that they both are blessed with life. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is equal among the two kids.
The picture represents a reality of the world, where one section is devoid of everything and the other section is devoid of nothing. Then there are those that are neither here nor there - some they have, some they don't.
It is a fact that each one of us is born in different places and in different conditions – economic, social, cultural, political. We have varied levels of access to different amenities around us, and we are entitled to diverse luxuries of the world.
Where is the equality? We are not even born in the same manner.!,

Yet we firmly believe that we are all equal and are fighting for it… Being misled by the hype created around the theme...
Equal Opportunity?? Yeah right.!!!
Do we truly have an equal opportunity to grow? To play? To work? To speak our minds?To Love? To Choose? To Freedom? To Die? Do we all have the same status in any respect? Is it even closely similar?
We have been living this myth for ages, without even once questioning its veracity, conditioned to believe that Equality is the way forward...
Do we truly have an equal opportunity to grow? To play? To work? To speak our minds?To Love? To Choose? To Freedom? To Die? Do we all have the same status in any respect? Is it even closely similar?
We are evidently missing out on a crucial aspect about this whole thing... We do not realize that Equality is not enough. Justice has to be an integral part of it. There is no point in being equal if Justice is not served right.
However, the truth of the matter is Equality does not always necessitate Justice. It has to be a deliberate endeavor from each one of us. Every-time, everywhere, everyplace.
In a world with limited availability of resources, sagacity should be made the norm. Resources must be assigned justifiably rather than equally.
Like in the picture above. Equality does not serve the purpose. Justice does. We need to understand this small but crucial idea and make it a habit.
Start now, before its too late. Strive for Justice and Equality, for all beings.
Lets make the world a better place, for you and for me and the entire Human race.!
