I think that the answer is NO! Even the sun doesn't shine equally on all parts of the planet! Religions have painted the picture of equality among humans that is far from the truth. It is just like a nurse telling you that the needle prick won't hurt. It is a 'white lie'. Something that may make you complacent, but is definitely not the truth.
Now I have a better statement for everyone to consider: 'All are equal in the eyes of good people.' Now, this is a statement that can be considered true.
Does it mean that all good people believe in equality? No.
Does it mean that whoever does not believe in equality is not good? No.
It just means what it says, All are equal in the eyes of GOOD PEOPLE!
They are the ones that try to attain equality on every front, in all aspects of society. An unattainable goal, but a goal, nevertheless!
I must admit that this is a constant fight. As our civilization matures, disparity, the opposite of equality will keep on raising its head in multiple forms and the good people will have to keep fighting till the unachievable is achieved.
The unattainable is a dream. A dream where people are appreciated for what they do, not for what they are. Where every living moment one has to be vigilant about what one does and how one acts. Because we have to be accountable not to others, but ourselves, not for what we did in the past, but what we are doing in the present, at this moment, right now. Every step that we take, will create ripples that affect the future. Our's as well as that of the coming generations.
So right here, right now, is the time that we should pledge to stand up for the unattainable goal! Equality of humans in the eyes of humans!
