When people talk of equality
When people talk of equality and all that, I want to scream out loud.
Equality, in small doses is ok. But it is boring. Equality is sameness, it is status quo. It’s uninteresting. It’s a flat piece of wood. No differences, smooth.
At first, it feels like a ride on the ECR (Substitute your favourite highway here). You can’t get enough of the flat surface and the smooth drive. Then it gets boring. The same level surface. Absolutely no relief. Nothing at all. Monotony!
I don’t want equality. The world was not intended to be equal. If it were, there wouldn’t be a Mt. Everest. There wouldn’t be the forests, there wouldn’t be the Marina.
So stop begging for equality.

Sensibility is boring. I agree. Someimes, a man’s insanity reveals more and is more indicative of him than his sanity.

All right then, YOU do the begging, we shall sit here and say ‘we are more equal than you are’. (Perhaps I maketh no sense but then, sensibility is boring too).
