If We Are All Created Equal Why Is There So Much Hate In The World?

Why must there be racists, and homophobs, and sexists? Why, if we are all equal, why do people think lesser of others just because the look different of sound different? Why must we be so afraid of change?

  • We are...
    We aren't really talking about abilities like walking on water or putting our foot behind out head. We're talking about opinions, rights, and freedoms. We all have them. ALL OF US.

    However, it seems that there are very few places to express them nowadays. Come to America. We like you here.

  • Simply because...
    not everyone believes that we are all created equally. (In regards to deserving respect) The problems stem from that. And from what others have said in this debate.

  • A Paradox
    Hello there,

    I respectfully disagree with most of the opinions expressed above. By the look of it, the subject seems to be interesting as it has generated very fruitful discussion.

    Imho, the question itself has to be challenged both in its subjective pretension and its objective contents.

    Firstly, one needs to determine whether we are really 'born' 'equal'. Secondly, what does 'equality' mean anyway. And thirdly, what or how does an evenly equal or egalitarian society has to do with hatred.

    As long as the above concepts are not challenged, the grapevine of opinions will go on in a circular manner. Once challenged, and when the cobwebs of our formal education and culture (in this case literary culture, specifically) are brushed aside , then i predict that the question itself will disintegrate, and it will leave behind paradoxical superstructures (or meme's, in a vague manner) of mental constructs.

  • Equal?
    Equality is simply a big lie we are not equal however hate love and all the other concepts that fits are simply because of the thing called neuronalmiror or if you want because of how our body's work simply you meet someone that you feel that you like him and this is simply because your body is creating some kind of chemical thing that makes you love this person and it's somehow because you know that you are better then this person because truly we only love the people that we are better then them and that we feel that we can control them and that's why usually the people that you think are different and your first impression about them was bad you be to them a good friend and you love them and that's simply because you fell sorry about him and he makes you feel better about yourself because you are better then him/her.
