"All Fingers....Not Equal!"
Hello Everyone!
The notion that "All men are equal" is not true. Human equality is a myth. No two men or women are really equal socially, economocally, intellectually, or physically. Thus, human equality may be an ideal, but it is certainly not a fact. Social equality means "comparable respect, and responsibility for others," but men do not always show the same degree of respect and concern for their own neighbors. For example, a few years ago, a woman was attacked by a man in a large city. Thirty-seven of her neighbors witnessed the attack, but they did nothing to help the victim. They were all horified, but no one even called the Police. Finally, one stranger - A man walking by, saw her, and called the Police, but it was too late. The Woman died. That one stranger to me, had a stronger sense of social responsibility, and respect for human life than all the other witnesses had. In other words, he was their "Social Superior." Unfortunately, such a man does not always receive greater social respect. Thus, everything about inequality reminds me of the proverb that "All Fingers Are not Equal!"
