… organisation parrot the slogan of equality without any intention or ability to see it through or make it a reality, mission statements of both small and large organisations promises to offer equal opportunities to all. Schools, resturants, stores and all form of institutions promises the same. But truth is none had been able to deliver on this promise, not for lack of trying on the part of the small minority. We are born into an unequal world and mandated to find our way in it. A quick scan of our body and we struggle to find any two equal parts, even those parts that look equal on close examination are not.
Inequality has been the undoing of many a family, frienship, groups, societies etc. In some instance, all starts out well, similarly the same, until time and space reveals differences and inequality and this is when the beast is unleashed, all form of ugliness begins to rear its head. The ones that feels below or behind starts to stab at the back of the one ahead and bruise his heel. The one ahead crushes the head of the one below and the enmity is established. The envy, jealousy, backbiting, detest, bitterness and all manner of bile on the part of the one that feels lacking. With pride, arrogance, snobbery, aloftness, pretentiousness, condescension, elitism, haughtiness, airs, disdainfulness and exclusiveness on the part of the ones supposedly ahead.
Inequality is here to stay and as we do not treat one ear or one eye better or worse than the other we are encouraged to find our balance in life.
