Inequality
Hello Everybody! It's me again. This time, I want to share to you my insights about the world. do you think the world is fair? Has the world treated you good? Or at the very least treated you better than most? Each person has their own views about how this huge world of ours run. But nonetheless, there is always some truth in every perception. This time, I'd like you to listen to my own perception of the world (read rather...). No matter what, I hope you would be able to gain a little more insight after reading this... So here it goes.
Equality! I
bet none of you haven’t heard this word already. But have you ever pondered
upon the deeper meaning of this word? Equality is the state of being of the
same standing, especially in status, rights and opportunities. So have you ever
thought of someone as your equal? Look at the person beside you. Do you
consider him as your equal? On the surface, of course you will say he or she
is. It would be extremely rude to say otherwise. But deep down, at the very
core of your human nature, you regard that person as someone below you at some
circumstances. And you, ladies and gentlemen, are most likely correct.
All humans
are born equally! Do you believe this saying? All throughout childhood we have
been taught as such. But growing up offers us a lot of opportunities to learn
from the world. And I tell you this: The world is the most unfair thing in
existence. Or more precisely, the society that we, humans, created. Why do you
think ideas such as racism and feminism came into existence? Isn’t it because
some humans look down upon each other? This is enough solid proof to convince
us that people are truly unequal. When you walk down the street and encounter
beggars, oftenzztimes you would ignore them. Why? Because subconsciously, you
don’t regard them as equals. Even the act of giving them spare change is a
proof of inequality, and in fact, both of you acknowledge this.
But having
said all that, social standing is only a supporting element in life. What
really matters is your natural talent and abilities! Are you smarter than your
classmates? Are you physically stronger than the person next to you? Are you
more cunning than the person attempting to trick you? My fellow classmates, the
world does not bless everyone with exceptional talent and abilities. Be
thankful that you know you have more talent in a certain area than most people.
But don’t get carried away either. Talent is only useful when cultivated
properly.
I am not saying that being above another
is a bad thing. What I am trying to stress out is that you should accept it.
You’re birth origin is only the starting line in the race called life. Whether
you choose to ride a taxi or to jog to the finish line is completely up to you.
Use your talents and abilities to your full advantage. Don’t be ashamed that
you stand taller than other people. Be proud! But don't be arrogant either. Cultivate your potential and know your your limits. It should be known as a
fact that not everyone are equals. There is no such thing as a society of
equals. There is only the oppressor and the oppressed. There is only the rich
and the poor. There is only the weak and the strong. Let me end my speech with
this question: “Would you rather be weak? Or strong?”
