God created us equal. Some people are rich but are not happy.?

Question

Some are not rich but are healthy, some are beautiful but not clever, some are successful but lonely. So life is fair , isn't it? We are all equal.

Answer 1

Depends what you mean by equal.

Do you or have you always felt equal to others to every one?

Answer 2

Ok and what about the people who are poor, unhealthy, and uneducated? And the wealthy who can afford great health care, great education, plastic surgery, and an exciting social life? I would actually say the real world is the total opposite of what you have described. Generally, the more money you have, the better health care and educational opportunities you will be able to afford. The less money you have the poorer the education and health care you will be able to afford (and afford for your children.)

If a negative in one area has, by some cosmic law, to be balanced out by a positive in another, then I would imagine people in Darfur must be pretty damn attractive. Babies that die of starvation must have a totally awesome 6 months of life, since that must balance out the pain, misery, and squalor of those months as well as the decades of future life they lose.

Life is not fair and we are not all equal. Now that this bubble has been burst, maybe we can actually work towards doing somthing about this. The belief that all will work out for the best and life is fair may have great psychological value for those at the bottom. The leper in the gutter of Calcutta or the starving mother in Sudan. For those of us who can actually work to improve the world, however, this belief in the fairness of life actually only serves as an excuse to do nothing ourselves, and is an extremely dangerous idea.

Answer 3

We are "equal" in that we all have the same amount of potential to do and become what ever we want. Freewill and all that jazz. As we grow up and see how the world works, we re-define what we want out of life and refocus ourselves, or we let the will of others dictate how we will run our lives. The potential to become anything is always there, but it is rarely easy and rarely what we truly want to be, which is why there are such discrepancies as "rich but unhappy" and "successful but lonely".

Answer 4

to me, equal in this context means that we should/do have equal rights, equal freedoms, equal initial respect when we are born , it doesnt mean equal abilities nor negative things, everyone suffering in some way doesnt make us equal
also, as you said, "some" there are many rich, healthy beautiful ,clever people, and many poor in bad health people

Answer 5

nope. God created us all with the same potential, not a diffrent situation with varuables that all add up in the end. Gods promise to His children (Christians) is that He'll never give us more than what we can handle, people who have rejected Him or do not know Him are on their own. So the devil could destroy them, while God would protect and give us all that we could take and no more, non-belivers dont have that protection.

Answer 6

The fact that we are not equal in all ways would give you a bit of a clue into the statement "God created us equal," if you chose to see it.

Answer 7

reason guy is a fallen creature created to easily comprehend stable and alter into uncovered to evil you are able to in basic terms think of the ability of a guy who chooses to do in basic terms stable. I ask does all and sundry comprehend of a guy that would not do evil? Do you do evil? then you definately are fallen right into a state for from what you have been made to be. you're susceptible as are all of us and that's weakling like ourselves that make evil circumstances. with the help of those different circumstances we reason others to be tried to boot. If we fall and phone ourselves stable then others innocence is corrupted. Your one sin reasons many to fall in a roundabout way. this is a diminishing result. before long we've monsters that rape babies and that they are equivalent to instructors that gave them a undesirable occasion or dad and mom who left porn open on there computers. it is how I see it. it is how all are equivalent. Or to make it greater user-friendly: we are all slaves to circumstances that others make.

Answer 8

Even if some one is more beautiful, rich, etc. they are still equal to some one who is ugly, poor, etc. Each person has their own faults but they are all still equal to one another

Answer 9

God didn't create us all equal, nature created us equal in flesh, but your father, and you ancestors determine your wealth and power.

Answer 10
