What does it really mean?

      Now it has been said by many a people that all men are created equal.  My first issue with this is it simply isn’t true.  In what way could it be?  Is anybody equal? Not that I’m aware of. Some rich, some barely making it, some poor to the point of having nothing,  Some mentally ill stable,some never were, or could be. The list seems to go on and on.

My second issue with this is, only man?  No man I have know en are created equal.  Except for their sex, other than that I can not, will not agree to.  Because it is not true.  What two people, of any sex, are the same?  From where I sit none.  But if that makes us equal than perhaps there may be something to this after all.  With so many conflicts within one simple statement, I am hard pressed to be live that.The statement should be all men are created equal by being unequal. 

      I missed something. That each of us is human. We all have the same basic body, brain, body function and emotions. Each of us has lived through the same life trials. Some harsher, some easier to deal with at the heart of it there are all the very same things. However, each of us deal differently with these trials. Some things differ in severity from person to person, but along with that some people are capable of coping with things positively that another person both could not and would not be able to. In our own trials most people can empathize., still never really able to understand.

All of this definitely includes being poor, rich, stable, unstable, intelligent, insanity, etc. All men are created equal seen in the fact that we all look so differently at the same things. We compare our experiences most naturally against those of others. It is a trap. s I have stated.  So very much we come to accept to be true about ourselves and our lives we learn to be true. What is true for us may be the same for another person maybe in many ways. But each individual reaction is uniquely our own and best left that way. Accept yourself and anyone you care for exactly as they are. You can’t and shouldn’t seek to change a person. So do you agree? Are all men created equal?
