To honestly persue a deeper understanding of LIFE we have to be far more objective and really KNOW why we regard one another as we do.
Deep down - on the most basic and truest level - it was but one little sperm cell among many thousands that impregnated an egg - and that alone is how each and everyone of us came into being.
So on the 'Truest' and 'Deepest Level' all of us are FULLY EQUAL. For none of us had anything to do with either the source of the cell that impregnated the egg or the source from which the egg came. From this LIFE came into being and everyone of us originated in the exact same manner -- each of us totally 'equal' in every possible way.
So where is the difference. One is adored with the finest clothing from the moment he was born. All he has ever known were people worshipping him and regarding him as the Greatest to ever live. In his 'world' every female that ever saw him was drawn to come to him, bow before him and kiss his feet. All of them wholly did this with the deepest gratitude for the priviledge of being able to serve him and they always held his foot (or ankle) in such a way that he could tell they were deeply genuine. So as he grew into a man - there were moments where he allowed them to serve him more fully. This was totally out of 'RESPECT' for their genuine desire to serve him and he was 'honored' to grant them a higher and more thorough service.
One is by mere chance born an American and has never known anything but the greatest abundance.
'One represents the over whelming 2/3rds majority of all born on this planet. Please note the difference:
Our home would immediately lose everything - except for a few old blankets, a table, and a wooden chair. Each person in the family would have the oldest suit or dress, a shirt or blouse.
A pair of shoes for the 'head' but none for the wife or children.
Kitchen would have some matches, a small bag of flour, some sugar and salt. A few moldy potatoes in the garbage will need to be retrieved to provide most of tonight's meal. At most we would have a handful of onions and a dish of dried beans.
Bathroom - no running water or electricity.
NEXT GOVERNMENT SERVICES GO.
No postmen
No firemen
School 3 miles away with 2 classrooms
No hospitals or doctors nearby
MONEY
The entire family could have $5 dollars.'

Yet in the TRUEST and DEEPEST MANNER - all were completely equal
