Equality

We are all created equal regardless of age, color, ethnicity, gender, or nationality. However, since the night of time, some people reject the concept of equality. The Holy Bible says, “My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the delicate dress and you tell him to sit in a good place. And in contrast, you tell the poor man to stand over there or sit down at his feet, have you not then made distinctions among yourself and become judges with evil thoughts?” James 2:1-4

Lack of equality creates frustration, war, and violence throughout the world. Unfair treatment also occurs to people living in the same country. When governments don’t develop proper conditions for the minority, no one can live in peace and tranquility. Here is how Malcolm X predicts the consequences of social inequalities, “I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those that do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice, and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the systems of exploitation.”

As spiritual leaders, our mission is to cover humanity continuously with vibrations of peace, love, and harmony. But inequality amongst people refrains the light from shining through some hearts.
