Human Equality

The equality of men and women is an inbuilt aspect of human nature. There are obviously some physical differences. However, the souls of men and women are identical. This does not mean that men and women cannot have separate clubs and activities and stuff, or that organizations can not set their own rules for membership. It just means that men and women are, in fact, equal, and should be treated as such.

Diversity is another natural reality that should be reflected in our culture and our laws. Every human being is equally precious. Race and gender, age, sexual orientation, religious belief, disability, transgender, social class are really irrelevant when it comes to the value of people and the dignity and respect. It is our words and deeds that determine our value. Are we helpful and harmless in our voluntary actions, or are we causing trouble and harming people and being destructive?

As human beings we have created system at the time we thought were helpful and now realise that this has hinder our growth around the social constructed systems that we operate in.

The cultural diversity of the human race is a great strength of human civilization. We complement each other very well. All human beings love and respect each other. That is the universal law taught in every religion and reflected in the constitution of every nation.

Today, a diverse assortment of ancient and more recent civilizations are coming together into one global civilization. The United Nations Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are the constitutional foundation of this of our global civilization. Cooperation and Competition can coexist at peace with one another, unity in diversity, freedom, equality and justice for all, are universal principles, declare in all nations.

We do have the capacity to improve ourselves and help others. Many people choose to remain in a barbaric condition. Selfish and materialistic. Many other people choose to improve ourselves and help others. The point is, that while we are inherently equal, we are also free to choose to improve ourselves and help others, or not.

We have instincts that we have inherited from the animal kingdom. We also have the moral values and spiritual principles revealed in the Word of God. These moral values and spiritual principles are the foundation cornerstone of human nature and civilization. The Religion of God, revealed by the Manifestation of God, is the source of the moral values and spiritual principles, which are the impulse causing human nature to evolve and human civilization to advance.

  • When we look at equality and diversity like that it is simplistic.
  • What do you think?
  • Does it matter?
