By John Töns, published 8/4/2014It is not enough for us to point at politicians - for we all have responsibility for the sort of society in which we live. By our silence we are complicit.

If one is to expect equality, then why only between humans?
<<I am diminished when I stand by and hear people marginalise individuals on the basis of their race, colour, religion, gender or physical ability.>> But you are not diminished when others are marginalised on the basis of their species, right? <<In every instance we are engaged in anti-human behaviours and as we are all human – we are not just hurting others we are hurting ourselves.>> No Sir, we are not humans, we only happened to acquire a human body for a while, for as long as it lasts. Yes, when we hurt others we hurt ourselves, even when those others do not happen to wear a human body as we currently do. We ARE equal, already - we only wear different costumes. Imagine how boring it would be if we all wore the same costume: that would include being born at the same place, the same time, to the same parents and always occupying the same position in space...

The concept of 'equality' shouldn't be used as the bar of all judgement and morality. In fact, it it should be rarely used. Two reasons why: the first is that it brings out the worst traits in human beings - envy, resentment, frustration, entitlement complex, anger, and hate. The second is that it fails to see that inequality is the natural condition. Equality is an ideal, that is all; it doesn't actually exist anywhere except in the head of those who preach it. Equality of opportunity may exist, but equality of outcome doesn't, nor should it ever exist. Why? Because human beings have different talents, skills, and motivations, and they also differ in the degree that they will cultivate these traits. No amount of social engineering will correct the human impulse for achievement, rank, and distinction.

Well, we are unequal from the day we are born!
There are physical, intellectual and emotional differences. However, that can never be used as an excuse for the strong to exploit the weak, but rather, reason to protect, the way we are supposed to, with children, the fail and old, or disabled. Nor should difference be used by the emotionally crippled uncaring, to confer a privileged status on people who don't deserve it; given brighter, stronger persons are denied those privileges, and knowingly locked away in poverty traps by the policy paradigms of the ruling elite! When they could serve humanity so much better, if given a measure of equality or a fighting chance. Education ought to be the starting point, and then let merit or natural attrition decide a much fairer contest! Why? Because there is a natural order and a natural contest. And that is how it should be? All human progress has been accompanied by the contest of ideas, and the strong assisting/providing for the weak! The graves of the earliest humans, show that at some point in our development, we became compassionate caring humans, and stepped up above other animals on the evolutionary scale. Not everyone is cut out to be team leaders, but almost everyone is cut out to become members of teams and engage in teamwork. The current discontent has it's origins in individualism, and or taking undeserved credit and reward for the work of many; manifesting as unearned obscene returns for a few! And a reason to inculcate discontent, but particularly, in the brighter and more competent! What we need is team/corporate Australia, and a return to genuine teamwork and cooperation! The economic miracle, that turned a war-torn and impoverished Japan, into the second most powerful economy, was teamwork, pure and simple. They didn't compete with each other for the spoils of defeat, but rather, with the rest of the world, for pragmatic nation building opportunities and economic recovery! Rhrosty.

Really Jon?
Your five paragraphs following this statement suggest that it is far from easy.
If you look at every human culture on the planet and every one that has ever existed, and look at every species of animal and plant and understand basic ecological principles, you will see that inequality is fundamentally present everywhere.
I put it to you that the problems of inequality in our society are extremely difficult to deal with. And that perhaps we are stuck with them more or less as they are.
Perhaps in a society like ours, which is among the best and fairest in the world, equality is about as good as it is ever going to get.
