GOLDEN RULE VERSUS SOCIAL EQUALITY
Golden Rule versus Social "Equality"
Is not "equality" an impossible social illusion, which projects an ideal, that is theoretical in conception, therefore is utterly unattainable in human life?
If "equality" means to be "exactly alike," since no two things, even in nature, are exactly alike, whether leaves , water, or blades of grass, how can any human society ever be?
Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you--the golden rule--is a better rule than illusory "equality."
