Inequality is an important element of the world. It is due to the value that people have their own positions and so they fight each other. Inequality means that there are differences between people, even though they are made in the same way.
Humankind has always suffered from inequalities, across the lifespan and across all societies.
Inequalities might be as old as humanity itself, but they are not inherent to human society.
Generally, Inequalities simply means not being equal
Mathematically,
Inequalities can be either;
less than <,
greater than >,
less than/equal to ≤,
greater than/equal to ≥.
My Mathematics lecturer once asked a question in class.
He said;
What if there is equality in humans? How would this world be if everyone is equal? If Mr A, Mr B, Mr C, Mr D... has the same amount of money cars and power.
Based on my own knowledge, I replied the lecturer that;
The world would be full of peace! It will be a place where there is no competition, no jealousy, no job. Everyone will work and spend as they wish. They will work only because they like it.
No one will be obliged to do anything. There will be no need for a strict system of law and order in the country.
Nobody would be poor nobody would be rich nobody will face inequality. There won't be rich people's property and poor people's homes
You'll live in your house, and I'll live in my house.
And we'll all live side by side! No one will feel inferior to anyone. Others' money, fame and power will not matter at all!
For there is equality among us!
Then he replied and said; "You are right but, If everyone in this world is equal, this life will be boring, there will be no competition. When you compete with someone, you always do better and that makes you grow.
If everyone is equal, it will be a life of no opportunities. If there is equality, then why do we need to work hard? We will not be motivated to work harder and make our lives better. If there is equality in this world, then we will not have any great leaders"
The Future is Equal.
If there is equality - if everyone in this world is equal, the progress and development of human civilization will come to a grinding halt. They say that if we are all the same, there will be no one to do the dirty work. We are all different because we were created to fulfill our own unique missions. Without diversity, we become one dimensional and life becomes stale and flat. There is no growth or movement and stagnation ensues.
Then why are we so different from each other? - The mystery of diversity can be answered by the theory of evolution. The Theory states that the process of evolution is the process of selection of favorable genes prevalent in the gene pool for reproduction and survival of the fittest.
Whether this leads to other people to fall behind or it makes you more motivated depends on your point of view. There are some people who feel very uncomfortable with inequality and try to achieve it always. This can motivate you, but it can also give you a feeling that you need to do something for them always. You will be uncomfortable with this idea that other people will stay behind, so you will do everything to make them feel good, but you may become overprotective.
Closing thought;
Diversity is an important thing, like one of the forms of diversity is equality. Since the beginning of civilization is inequality which has been a part of human life, and has been with us since the beginning of human development.
Thanks for reading 🙏❤️
We all cannot be equal in all ramifications. From the onset, some people will be either short or tall, fair or dark, rich or poor and a lot more. Equality will even be boring
