Make Life Precious, Keep People at a Premium

        It's hard to make everyone equal and the same. Because we are not.  In a capitalist world, we all have values that make us different.

    Even in a world without money, some people are stronger, some are faster, healthier, live longer. We are all different but we should all have infinite worth. Unfortunately, it is not the case.

    We know that some people in some neighborhoods, because of income or status, or even ethnic persuasion, or health, do not receive as much care or concern, and do not "count" as much as others. Whole countries are like this.

    Elected officials and celebrities generally have more wealth than others. They tend to more valued than others, of less notoriety or import, for many different reasons.

    Some people are smarter than others, many make more money and have more prestige, therefore they get better treatment than others.

    Why?

    Such is the world. Many would say men in general get more respect and attention than women and girls.

    Israelis over Palestinians. Light skinned over dark skinned.  Rich over poor. Protestants over Catholics. Hindus over Muslims.

    Democrats over Republicans. Well, maybe not that.

    Fast over slow.

    All of us should be worth it, no matter our characters. Well, merit is a thing.

    Good character deserves merit and aplomb. But more worth?
