inequality

Read an article on a Chinese magazine and find it make some sense.

It says that our world is never equal. Some people govern others, while some to be governed; There are few shopowners, but many shoppers; Few performers, many spectators; One president, many citizens; Closer to home, we spent 15 weeks to prepare for a 2 hour exam (this one's from me, although some may only spend the night before) From a functionalist point of view, everything exists for a reason. A master can't be a master unless he has slaves (so by right he should thank the slaves for giving him the title)

It was argued that the fight for fairness is itself unfair, cos it denies opportunity for the gifted ones. (to be honest, I don't get the point here) Maybe if they had insisted Einstein or Mozart or whoever to pass PSLE, O Level and A Level, our world wouldn't be quite the same.

So the question is, do you want to be unique (c'mon, we all are unique) or do you want to fight for equality and become one of the many identical products from the production lines?
