EQUALITY
Equality of mankind.
In my opinion the only equality is the moral evolution of man. Sure we are all equal as far as our animal instinct goes. But physically we are not. Few are born with three kidneys (my mother is one). We differ in skin colors, we differ in our believes. Each one of us is created equal for our moral evolution, we can chose to be good or bad. We can choose the honorable way of life or the criminal life. I believe that is the only equality we have. We can honor God and enrich our spirit or we ca chose to live our lives by our animal instincts. We are all created equal to chose our moral life. Other mammals do not have that equality given to men. Other mammals are bound by the laws of instinct, reproduction and survival. Animals kill only to eat and survive, men kill for control and pleasure. Men can only evolve through his spirit because he will always be bound by the laws of the earth. Our spirituality is our morality and our freedom.
