Equality... An Equal Prospect?

It's a democratic nation. All of us have equal rights, responsibilities and duties. Equal opportunities too. Equality seems to be the order of the day. It's the most basic law of nature. Everything in nature, physical, metaphorical, mythological, biological... everything seeks a balance. An "Equilibrium". In mathematical terms, we call it a balanced equation. When one side of the expression equals the other.

Then comes the stark reality. Does it REALLY exist? Do u see deviations from the basic concept of equality around u? In the world ur living in? In the circle u move? At the place where u work? Ur home? Ur mind? ANYWHERE?

Liberties, behaviour, responsibilities, rewards... a lotta jargon, u might be tempted to say. But look closely. Analyse. Be a little more critical in ur analysis. And then if I have been able to explain what I wanna say clearly, u'll know exactly what I mean.

There r times when ur really torn apart by thinking over this. And the most persistent question that comes to ur mind more often than anything else is the most basic question of all. A question so basic that it's a child's favourite question thrown at his folks.... "WHY?"...

U been there? How does it feel?


Think.


Love, Peace n' Harmony
