Why so much of inequality everywhere?

We are all born the same but we are not all born into the same circumstances. Just because you are born into a rich family it does not guarentee you an easy life and if you are born to destitute parents it does not mean you can never better your situation. its called playing the hand you are delt and everyone must get along from the starting point they were given.

Why? This is is a question you will have to put to God when you meet Him because only he has the answer

What? People are born the SAME? Who on Earth told you that?

Donald Trump was born a millionaire. I was not. Michael Jordan was born to be very tall and with excellent reflexes and hand-eye coordination. I was not, which is why I am not a player in the NBA, and in fact, was booted off the Middle School basketball team.

I suppose you actually believe the bit that "All Men are Created Equal" in the US Declaration of Independence. This is OBVIOUSLY not true, and not what the Founding Fathers meant, either: what they meant was that all men were created with equal legal rights, by God.

In England in those days, some were born kings, some were born nobility, and most were born commoners, and each caste had different rights and these rights were seen as divinely bestowed. The British money still states this belief: Elizabeth II, D.G.R.( Dei Gratia Regina: by grace of God, queen).

The statement in the Declaration of Independence simply stated the belief that God created everyone with one, equal soul, and therefore each had the same rights: kings, nobility and commoners.

Evolution has NOT made you or anyone equal. Each of us is unique. I do not dispute that we should have equal rights before the law.

Everyone is born the same...? Sure if you mean they are all born with small bodies and come out of their mother's wombs naked... Of course in that case they are born the same.

The answer to your question however does not necessarily have to do anything with how the baby is born... the question that more importantly addresses your concerns in that question is... who is the baby born to?

You see there is this law of cause and effect that rules the world we know... Every action has a reaction and hence, we have a world of actions / reactions which generate new ones and the cycle goes on.

So if a person is born poor to poor parents... He is not being cursed because he is born to a family that cannot affort to feed themselves... but it is actually the result of the the two parents who brought him into the world... If you think about it... a baby is the result of an initial cause... that caused by his parents... something he had no choice of....

At some points you find people claiming... "I wasn't asked if I wanted to come into this life, and I didnt want to be alive... " Well sorry to say that you lack the authority to make the choice as our world is driven by cause and effect.

Of course when a baby grows older and gains more self-awareness he is then bestowed upon with the ability to choose his life... to create his own causes and witness their effects... Some poor people have managed to become some of the richest people in the world, while other rich people have proven that gambling was more powerful than their desire to keep all of their wealth and do something with it.

Strip us down of our clothes and our material belongings and we remain with two things. Choice and awareness.

THere is no such thing as equality unless its enforced. Its true that some people are born so rich they dont have to work a single day whilst some people no matter how hard they work they dont get any where...aint life a bitc*? Yeah and it breeds a lot of resentment on both sides...the poor call for a revolution and the rich call for the extermination of the poor or "wasteful eatters".

WHere we are in life is dependant on what efforts we have made ourselves and some of it is circumstantial and luck.

Good question... Whenever I see a homeless person, I wonder...What did this person do to deserve that kind of existence ??? Why are their families not rescuing them ??? I do not believe they REALLY prefer that kind of lifestyle.. Wouldn't you just love to get a peek at the grand scheme of things, once and for all ??? If I were to have been born to wealthy people, and were raised so differently than I was, would I be better person ??? Would I have been more successful, or less ??? This is a good question, but it just leads to perplexing imaginary scenarios.... I suppose Donald Trump has bad days, too, but feel like a week in Arruba would cheer me up, and he could do it whenever he felt like it...But would Arruba become boring after a while, too ???I think true happiness and total security are not real at all, but imaginary abstract thoughts that do not exist, at least not in this lifetime... Good luck figuring this out, if you do, please drop me a line, I would love to hear the explanation....

BTW we are not ALL born exactly the same, in a medical sense, and most definitely NOT the same in a social, spiritual, physical, or cultural sense.

WE don't choose the lifestyle or historical issues we're Born into, and living in situations as we evolve into adulthood is hardly something we can choose, or alter greatly.

When we reach an age of cognizant thought, then we CAN/MAY begin to alter our World. Certainly we may need to learn tolerance and acceptance of the fact that others have MORE or LES, and we may even have to compromise that we may not achieve what others have, but can find levels of success most relative and relevant to us individually.

Your premise is false and illogical therefore your conclusions are wrong.

Each person is a unique human being. Some of what they become or achieve or earn in life is of their own doing (education, hard work, effort, etc.); most of what happens is not of their own doing (the society and environment they were born into).

People born into a family of wealth, success, and security regularly end up prematurely dead or in prison or impoverished.

People born unto poverty, strife, and insecurity often rise above it to become successful in their own terms (not yours or mine).

You will find in 100% of the cases that someone who is "successful" never lost sight of their and persisted on their path to achievement. "Persistance alone in omnipotent." - CC

ture !!! equality in birth is related to ones right, all of us have the same rights i.e. human rights, social, judicial, religious, moral, etc.

but just like ur equality in ur rights doesnt calculate how good your wife is going to be, how good neighbours you are going to get, what kindda job and which category of a BoSS you are going to deal with,

in the same way dear, your wealth is not a matter of your right, its a matter of your desire, its a matter of your struggle. its a matter of ur scale of perferences.

just like each and everyone of us have been given some equality in some terms, in some ways, in the same way all of us have been given "FREE WILL".......

you are free to chose, and believe me when you are going to ask some real rich old guys, you are gonna get to know that it was not mere luck, it was not only chances that made them reach those hights,,,,,,,,,,,,they have something within them, that made them sore to the sky

we prefer not to be rich so we dont become rich, we dont have enough of that "SPARK" in us that is needed to get that wealth thing you know..........

so get over with it........ask your self, whenever you badly badly really badly need something, you always get it, whatever it is, so dear why not wealth

so stop complaining about ur luck or destiny or fate, start today....and you will be rich someday if not tomorrow (Y)

Because some see and use their opportunities and most don't. Prosperity is like muscle strength, the more you use it the more you have. If you see a prosperious person, they have earned it, if you see a poor person, thet have earned it. Karma. your actions in thought, word and deed are what create your life circumstances and destiny. Watch carefully the thought you allow into your mind, banish negative thought.

Define wealth...

The fact that U asked the question seems you yourself need to do some soul searching.In doing so You may find some happiness, which in turn can change the perception you have about your own life.

Life can only be as sweet as we make it...
