Equality: Easy To Taste, Hard To Digest - Yasir Raufi (Batch of '16)

We live in a world where the wealthy are happy because of the poor, the sane because of the insane, the healthy because of the ill, the beautiful because of the ugly, and the literate because of the illiterate. This all goes to show that all the happiness of the fortunate ones is derived out of the misery of the unfortunate ones, and that is the main reason for the failure, the corruption and downfall of our society as a whole. The fortunate ones care so much about their own happiness that they forget the right, the wish, for the unfortunate ones to be equally happy.

The moment the fortunate forget about their own happiness and focus on the misery of the people whose fate was just not as bright as theirs. The moment that, for the fortunate, the upside cup of smile topples over and turns into a fallen empty cup of sadness. The moment when the unfortunate will start seeing a ray of hope to survive, improve and gain faith in humanity and their lost faith in God. The moment when the unfortunate will have a smile on their faces because of recovery and support, and the fortunate will still have that toppled over empty cup of sadness because of worry and humility. That will be the moment that our society begins to rise. It will be the moment when God will start to truly love His people again and they gain freedom from all evils and hatred from the outside world because no one can break the chain binding the united men together. That will be a true example of equality. The truth is that God didn't give everyone everything equally but He has given His believers equal rights hence it is their duty to treat each other as equals, and that, in my belief, is the very basic foundation for success and uprise of a society- Equality
