thoughts worth what you Paid
Inequalities exist, and why should they not? This reminds me of the concept of fairness. An instructor once said that "fairness is a man made concept that does not exist. It never has, never will and we should not expect it." That was the jest of it anyway. I've always tried to be fair as it was stressed as important in my family and therefore important to me. I still feel it's important and do my best to treat everyone in a fair manner, sometimes to my demise, but this is about inequality.
There are currently people protesting in some manner or another their perceived inequalities. Darn right I'm not equal with them. I work and therefore generally don't have time to protest. Besides, working people have to make money to pay for the services for those that don't work as well as themselves. You know, those basic necessities, food, shelter, and health care. We would be more equal if they did something productive for the receipt of those services besides cry about inequalities. In the same way fairness does not exist, equality will never exist. A not complete list of reasons for inequality include; IQ, athletic ability, work ethic, and culture. Using myself as an example, I'm not the smartest nor the dumbest, fastest nor the slowest, I work hard but could work harder, and culturally I'm courteous, empathetic, and expected to give my best effort. Some of the protesters cry that unequal access to education is holding them down. Really, when you're given technology that gives you access to more education than you desire. That's right, it's there, free for the taking. It's much easier to cry about what you don't have than to work for what you want. But who could blame you, you have all you need. Still you want to be given more stuff. Well the people from whom the stuff is being taken to give to you want to keep the stuff they worked to achieve. All the good deeds of these people are punished with more of the same. Eventually there will be nothing left to give. Oh well, it's for the equality.
