And it was that God created man, and we where seen in His eyes as being created in His own image. An image which we can’t really say what is, for man and woman even though we think we are the same, we are different. You wouldn’t expect me to spell out the difference for you for we all have eyes to spot the difference but yet we are meant to be in His image. Would you now say God is Man or Woman? I guess we would all find out at the end. My guess is the image we speak of is not the physical, but spiritual.
The real question is “where we all equally created?” do you feel all man was created equal and given the same opportunities in life? Don’t answer just yet, hear me out before you jump off you horse.
If the answer is yes, why do we have Man and Woman? What would you say about those born with silver/platinum spoons compared to those with no spoon at all? People with no history of bad health and those whose best vacation are when they leave their hospital beds to visit neighbouring patients? Those who see drinking soft drinks as a luxury and best form of relaxing and those who’s sense of relaxing starts with crossing oceans and boarders. Or people who only sweat when working out and those who cherish the standing fans in their living rooms? People whose lives have a mapped out blue print with prospects and those who don’t even know what will be of them in the next hour? People who dare not have a bank account because saving for them is not in their dictionary and people whose money make up the bank funds or need more than a bank to hold their assets? You see the list could go on and on, in the end you realize not all fingers are equal. Would you tell a child born in the slumps of Sudan that he’s equal to the child born in the swamps of Warri? One has more privileges than the other, so how then would you say they be equal? Why do you have beggars begging you on the streets?
Two close friends graduate from the same department same year with same grades, but one gets a job immediately after while the other waits years before he ends up giving in to fate, why? Because the latter comes from a well stocked family and the other’s family struggled even to send him to school. Now one’s a CEO the other driving buses for a living. How equal would you call that.
If you feel man to be equal, why are you guilty of one time wishing you where born in another country or even to another family, wish you where white, or adopted by Brad and Angelina? Why there are sins called envy, jealousy and contempt? Isn’t inequality the root of these sins? Why is money the root of all evil if it’s not because the Have not try to have and the Haves try to have more?
I’ll tell you words that wouldn’t be if we where equal, words like opportunity, chance, luck, winner, loser, rich, poor etc.
Not matter what we feel, in the real sense of it we all are not equal, the inequality is what creates the balance, it’s what makes the whole essence of life meaningful, none of your fingers are equal, and even with the variance in height they all have their specific functions and together they make up the hand which on then becomes a meaningful appendage. There’s more to buff my reasons which I’ll explain but not now, definitely in the part two of these, but I’ll love to know your own notion. Do you think you’re equal to the next man beside you? If you where to compare yourself to the five fingers, which one would you be?
