Equality

We all have the same opportunities. The world is fair that way, for the most part. What we do with ourselves is usually completely on ourselves. Of course people who come from a background with money always have a step up, however that's just it: people don't always techinically all begin at the "starting line" and only a select few can walk away from the race with a trophy. In simplicity, life is not fair. It's really not. Yes, those who earn more must pay more taxtes, to make it "equal" to those who earn a lesser income, but how is that fair? If they went to school and worked long and hard for that money, why don't they deserve every penny of that? For those who start from absolute rock bottom and struggle for the rest of their lives, is that fair? If they made a few poor choices, then maybe because it may only taken you one slip-up, one teeny tiny little thing to ruin everything. Is it right for those people to live in misery? Is it right for us to choose whether someone dies or not? Even if they murdered a person, are we not committing the same sin, even if they "did it first"? Is it fair for you to decide if your neighbor should have her baby aborted or not? Life is gray, plain and simply complicated.
