Equal doesn't mean the same. 2 + 2 = 4 and 3+1 = 4 and 2+1+1 = 4 and 8 -5 + 1 = 4. All of these add up to the same answer but each answer is arrived at differently. In real life, it is the differences that make people upset and cause people to judge one another. People look at the differences rather than looking at the equality. The Bible has a warning about that which most people ignore. It says "Judge not that ye be not judged." The Bible was written 100s of years ago. It seems that judging others has been a problem for a long time. I doubt that the human race will change anytime soon.

We are all equal when viewed on a macro-level perspective - we are human beings. On the micro-level perspective, each of our physical characteristics and mental structures are unique, hence the discrimination.
If everyone looks and behaves the same way, there would have been peace on this world.

People are equal under the law; they have the same rights and freedoms.
People are not physiologically or intellectually equal. It's quite clear that some people are smarter than others, some are stronger than others, etc.

Its in human nature to be judgmental. We tell ourselves and each other that its wrong, but I for one know that when I see people on the street I do l base my opinion by sight not knowledge. We all do it, the thing I can say is to accept the fault. And not stress out over it.

They think that they are better, and are not. Kind of that in style thing, if you wear something different you get a label. Just like those guys who wear bike shorts, they get a lable too-like fag!
SO JUST LET THOSE IDIOTS BE IDIOTS! Be all the best you can that you want to be, and be good at it. YOU CAN BE ANYONE YOU WANT!

For most people maintaining self-esteem requires them to be better than those around them...
Hate to say it but it appears to be human nature to be in competition with the other inhabitants of this rock.
