Vannakkam everyone.
To keep it simple and short, what is your view on equality?
This has been bugging me for some years now. Like since my mid-teens. I realise that the world will be a different place to live in when everybody is equal or treated equally. Do you think it would be good or bad if everyone aspired for the same? For example, wealth and status. How will the world be then? It seems to be a scary place full of competition and over expectations and unnecessary desires.
And what about arrogance and ego? What if everybody wants a piece of that too?
It will be a great place to live in ONLY if everyone aspires to a religious and peaceful life, without much material need and detachment from ego.
That's my opinion.
In today's world, everybody more or less knows their place in society, determined by hereditary wealth and status as well as attitude and ego. They also know how to behave accordingly. But what happens when everybody becomes the same? I imagine chaos. Considering that the vast majority of the world's population today are either poor or average, these people will no doubt go to lengths to display an egoistic arrogance after generations of poverty once everybody is equal. So what happens then?
Most countries are controlled by an elite society, be they the aristocracy, the intellectuals or even the Brahmins. But when everyone aspires to be in the elite, where is the world headed to? If everybody wants a piece of the cake, or think they deserve a piece of the cake, what do we get at all?
Now it's still balanced, but when everybody wants the same and does the same, it won't quite be a balanced world anymore. What happens then?
I know that we're all equal in the eyes of God. But among each other? It's good to respect and treat everyone equally, but what happens when everyone wants the same or think they deserve the same? And what if what they aspire to is self-centred and negative in nature, like wealth and arrogance.
Is that when Kalki steps in?
Is it even necessary? How would the future be then?
It's just a thought. Forgive me if I offended anyone. Would love to know your opinions on equality.
Aum Namah Shivaya
