RE: Is Equality really important?

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

An interesting article.

As you say each of us has different abilities and backgrounds which have the potential to greatly influence our life choices and ability to succeed.

Some of us learn fast and achieve early on in our lives, others are slow starters and some non starters.

We all are here to live our own unique story.

To have succeeded materially is ok if you have achieved this status morally without stepping on your Grandma's head - and, I feel, it would be only fair to share your good fortune in some way, for the greater good of all, if at all possible.

In our world there is enough for everyone to have an average level of comfort but through greed many are denied basic rights of living standards and healthcare and this is morally wrong.

Then again the richest people I have met in my life have had the least freedom and freedom is ultimately the truest wealth. Freedom to work as one wishes, to not have a boss, or debt or large house and car loan.

In our world equality would be hard to achieve as we each have different expectations and desires.

I wish you well and invite your comment on my most recent article: https://steemit.com/philosophy/@ldacey-laforge/hope
