I want to learn how to make everyone feel like they have a place in society. I don’t think we need to force equality on everyone, nor do I think that’s even sustainable.
But I want everyone to feel like they’re valued, and that it’s possible to do well for yourself without pushing someone else down. Of course, in practice this is a lot more difficult.
Being the best at something necessarily means you’re “better” than someone else. And human nature skews towards a winner take all system, or at least the Pareto principle (80/20 rule.)
So maybe I’m being too idealistic. Maybe the only way to make everyone feel they have a purpose in this world is with religion, and the West has deviated way too much from this.
