EQUALITY, a beautiful MYTH - Avas Karmacharya

"We all are humans, and we promote equality." "For the people by the people" "We don't believe in racism" "We are people's voice" "God loves everyone equally" and blah and blah and blah...Cut this crap, you ask me, for me in person equality is a beautiful myth that the people in strength, be it in terms of power, wealth or influence, created to keep the people confused. Equality is everything but an un-equality divided cleverly. It is as much true as the chapters of history, written and interpreted by those who were powerful and had access to impose ideas upon. 

The day the heads of the nations will stand between their public and experience the feeling of cluster-phobia, we shall talk about equality then. The day the bosses of the companies will share the same meal served to their junior clerks in their sophisticated receptions, we shall talk about equality then. The day the poorest have the first access inside the temples, churches, mosques, monasteries, and the wealthiest have to queue, we shall talk about equality then. The day geographies, ethnicity, cultural identities, races, color of the skin, economy do not differentiate humans from humans, come to me to talk about equality. The day monasteries turn the poorest, Churches do not divide the sects, Quran is not misinterpreted, Buddha is not named after a bar, Hindu priests become as much a worshiper as anybody else than the self proclaimed agent of the Almighty, we shall talk about equality. The day, the wealthiest at least starve for a day, despite the whole of the eateries staring at them, we shall talk about equality then. The day when humans will not need organizations that claim to protect their rights; the rights again for only those pitied and empathized or those who can be well marketed, we shall talk about equality. The day each of us will look at a stranger and will feel that they must have as many problems in their lives or at least more than yours, we shall talk about equality then. The day conversations, emotions, and affections are valued more than inventions and developments, we shall talk about equality.

 Until then, the word "equality" remains a beautiful myth to me defined and interpreted by those in the power of wealth, politics, religious mafia, and physical strength, who wants everything out of equality but not just the equality.


 I look at animals, envy them, and thank god, they do not have minds of humans to invent beyond necessary. They live for every day, they hunt to feed enoughly not to greedily store. All that their lives revolve around as I see is, birth, hunger, sex and death. Even, when they kill, they kill out of need or to protect, not out of greed, hatred or revenge. For the rest, they follow the trade of nature and luckily do not understand the rest of the commerce humans are into. 

To conclude, dear Lord, if you do exist and if there is anything such as reincarnation, I beg before you, do not repeat the same mistake again - do not reincarnate me as a Human!
