<html> <p><img src="https://s14.postimg.org/xvu36ay5d/balance-2108022_960_720.jpg" width="960" height="576"/></p> <p>Thanks to @blunderbabe for this question as we were discussing equality right across the board earlier. Let's be clear here that in no way do I support true equality. I support equality in a form that everyone has what they want and more, and no-one is discriminated against for being different. It is my belief that when a man, woman or family have what they want then they are less likely to feel oppressed or forced into situations that they don't necessarily want to be in. Working for a horrible boss for example. I do believe that those that want to learn more, and manage teams should be allowed to do so and be rewarded handsomely for it. I believe that people should be able to earn their worth, or at least have every opportunity thrown at them so they can achieve such, and I don't think race, gender, background or social class should serve as a barrier or a plus point to achieving such a task.</p> <h1>Why we shouldn't be judgemental pricks</h1> <p>I'm one for thinking that the lazy man that sits on his arse all day and contributes literally nothing to society should still be given enough to be comfortable. We have absolutely no idea the issues the lazy man is facing so to take money away from him because 'we' think he should have an ethic like 'us' is wrong in my opinion. I've always said what works for me doesn't necessarily work for others and that fully extends to lazy people. Chances are they are facing some horrific internal battles anyway. Psychologists have said that the right combination for moulding a good kid into an adult is not known, because everyone is different, but what's totally and abundantly clear is that to fill them with love and they'll do good. Why should that stop at our kids? What about friends, neighbours, colleagues, etc? I was that lazy man once, for your information, and have risen from the fiery depths of Mount Doom, and forged myself in an unbreakable personality; through love, nurture and help. If everyone I met told me to, "Get a fukkin job you lazy cunt" I wouldn't be here today, educated, kind and loving.</p> <h1>Utopia!</h1> <p>Equality is a socialist’s dream, but we're far from there yet. I think conservatives and republicans truly want equality too, but it's become a buzzword to be used to smite them in arguments and I feel us guys on the left have added a bit of toxicity to the word for them. I feel they want to live in harmony just like we do. I think perhaps people tend to be seen as racists because they have only had bad experiences with certain groups. The same with feminists, and sexual types. Bad experiences create lasting effects, and those that are not equipped enough to not generalise and think outside of their own bubble then begin to peg everyone as the same.</p> <p>I think for me, it's more of a matter if I'm happy with myself or not, rather than equality. As @blunderbabe said to me there's so much hate in this world and that's because it's a reflection on how people see themselves. We are but a sum of our own experiences and how we feel about ourselves. The more we begin to love and appreciate the people that we are, the better we begin to appreciate those around us. When we don't like the people that we are or the person that we have become, it's so much easier to point out the inaccuracies in other people’s life’s than to face up to and deal with our own shadows skulking around in the inner depths of our being.</p> <h1>If the world was equal? Uh, no.</h1> <p>Right now, as it stands, if the world suddenly became that everyone was equal and had everything that they wanted, poof, in a flash, I still believe that we would begin to take the same course. Inaccuracies would still arise. I could see that perhaps things that are circumstantial becoming a delicacy and a privilege; good looks, area that you live in, gender, hair colour, so many things that I'm sure people would point out to 'be better' than their adjacent human, which in my mind is the absence of a happy mentality. Those that seek to be better than 'others' lack the love for themselves that they need to shine in the world. Those that seek to better 'themselves' without much care to others would be the one's that could really get benefit from the equality that we had just landed in.</p> <p>The human race is far away from being equal. In my mind, our shit still stinks and we were all born out of a sweaty vagina, but there are far too many people in this world that think they deserve more whilst others struggle to rub two pennies together. I've watched men with Billions of dollars sit there and think that a young boy from Africa with no shoes and extremely little access to drinking water could be in the same situation as them if only they 'tried'. The dumb shit that some people think up is ridiculous at times. Some people forget that the same opportunity does not come knocking on everyone's door. Some people just have shit luck constantly and have to deal with it. I have a brother in law that owns a house in the region of one million pounds. He couldn't understand when we decided not to buy a fillet steak piece worth £20; it couldn't compute to him. "Why? Just buy it" And that's another thing greatly lacking. Understanding. But that's a conversation for another day.</p> <h1>Equality ftw!</h1> <p>Do I believe that we should be equal? Yes. Equal in the sense that we recognise each other as humans without all these shitty labels. I think everyone should be comfortable and that those that seek opportunity should be allowed to do so. If you think comfortability shouldn't be for everyone regardless of the effort they put into society then you should really ask yourself why you want other people to be unhappy? That is the killer question. I hope it makes you think :)</p> <p>Thanks for reading!</p> </html>
