True Equality
Now I believe that every human possesses a spirit of equal value inside them. This includes black, brown, red, white, and yellow. Female and male. Speaking Arabic, Chinese, English, Hindi, Russian, Spanish, or unable to speak. Rich and famous movie stars and poor people nobody knows. Very short, very tall, and numerous other differences. Also, that this ubiquitous equality never changes.
My belief can be compared to the imago Dei or image of God concept. But I ignore all other conclusions one can draw from that notion. I ONLY hold to what I said. To the degree you keep what I said in mind, ze should be moved to treat everyone fairly if you are being logical.
Many do not believe that everyone's spirit is equal; some think that nobody has a spirit at all, only a flesh body. This can lead to devaluing everyone you don't like and/or whom you disagree with or are different from, even treating them like garbage and feeling justified in it without guilt.
On the other hand, those same who reject spirit equality may force fake equality. For example, some people groups may be more genetically predisposed to criminal behavior. But their bad behavior is blamed on oppression, so society allows crime to run rampant. Some population groups may be likewise predisposed to lower intelligence. But that is ignored in favor of racial or gender quotas in jobs such as being a surgeon or airplane pilot. So, lives are endangered. The lifestyle of homeless dope addicts who walk like zombies in the streets of Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle and defecate everywhere may be considered equally valid via counterfeit equality. In other words, egalitarianism, which is rubbish.
In this life, complete equality will never happen, nor should it be enforced. For instance, pro basketball teams hiring midget players to avoid discrimination. HOWEVER, every time we are in public, we think things about the strangers we see. We may see them as idiots, jerks, nuisances, pests, slobs, trash, etc. and so feel contempt for them on a regular basis. To cure this, remember that everyone has a spirit of equal value inside them, equal to yours! So, this should motivate us to act with consideration, kindness, and politeness to 100% of people 100% of the time.
In summary, though we have zero obligation to trust anybody, nor consider their behavior or biology as equivalent, maintaining said impartiality is paramount. And so, any suffering anyone may experience would be an exact equal tragedy to what you would experience. Keep what I said in mind. Facts.
