Equality
Men are created equal---However-equality ends at birth. Income, social class, race, creed-- all man made measures are what establishes inequity among all people.
Genetically we are the "same" our inheritance is ours - our legacy is how we offer our fellow man redemption from the burden.
To focus on what you have received, rather than what you can give is a crime bigger than the holocaust. You will effect more people for a longer period than any tyrant can rule.
It Is our responsibility and privilege to reach for a just way of life. For most, we shoulder the burden and look to a place beyond...to rise above. One cannot escape their burden, by simply believing, wishing or praying. We must keep our heads turned to the present and not some fabled future.
I challenge you to spend more time looking around you and work within the framework that has been laid our for you. Question everything-the answers will be come apparent as you inventory the physical world. Take into account gravity--
Gravity is immutable - never changes-- always present- favors none. It keeps our ocean tides, rivers flowing, our atmosphere present. All things we can touch, smell, hear and see are ruled by gravity. Why do we try so hard to fight it?
It equalizes us - puts us all in the place we were created to be.
I'll close with this--I have heard of racial profiling -- never of gravity profiling --
Man creates his own problems.!!!-- Victims are just as responsible as transgressors.
Be neither--
