Yes. For example, if I'm stuck in traffic, the guy stuck in traffic next to me is more equal than my friend who lives in Alaska. What I mean by that is at that precise moment, I have more in common with other people stuck in traffic than I do with a dude that lives 2000 miles away. Variable equality changes as time passes though--if that guy in traffic next to me dies inexplicably from full-body explosion, he ceases to be equal to me. Unless I also die from full-body explosion for no apparent reason, in which case we become equal again.

In terms of humanity, everybody is equal and deserve equal rights, but thats as far as it goes, im not equal to many great people, its simply because some people are smarter then others, and some people have the ability to achieve more, some are stronger, some are better looking etc. so in terms of physical and mental abilities we are not equal, but i guess thats just mother nature.

All humans are equal to each other because we're all the same. We're all human. One human can say they are better than the other, and yet another human can say the same thing. But in the end, we're all still human and the same. No matter what race, or gender, we're all of the human species. Therefore, I believe we're all equal to each other.

We are all equal "in essence" - that is we are all human beings and are afford basic worth and dignity.
But beyond that there is no equality because of the vast differences from one man to another.
One man may not be equal in strength to another. Or another man might be superior to another in his music ability, etc. etc.. That is the amazing diversity of mankind.

Those that want to be equal are. Those who put them self high or lower than another are fools in this day and age

It's intersting that only those who beleive that are the ones who feel superior. No ONE is any better than the other, some have gone down the wrong path, and some don't wish to understnad certain things, No ONE has any more right to breath air than you do

nope
When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal.
When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine your own self

yes. because the life it's just unfair to many times... who has money might have a better soul in other's eyes even if he's not like that...
