    "What Makes Equality Such A Difficult Subject Is That We Only Want It With Our Superiors." (Henry Becque)

    According to a quote, people only want equality with those above them socially and are unwilling to guarantee equality for those below them. While equality seems ideal, differences between people will always exist and true equality may be impossible. Luck plays a role in one's wealth and social status as no one chooses where they are born, such as the differences between children born in Zimbabwe versus Germany or to orphaned versus middle-class families. However, being born into poverty does not mean one cannot raise their status through ambition and finding their own path in life.

    What makes equality such a difficult subject is that we only

    want it with our superiors. (Henry Becque)

    I think this statement means that people want to be equal


    with those above them on the social scale, but not many would
    be willing to limit their privileges and advantages by
    guarantying equality to those they consider to be below them.
    Always there will be a difference between people and equality
    seems to be something ideal, something imposible.
    Otherwise, I think what separates one poor man from one
    rich is first of all luck. It is not our choice where are we born.
    For example, there is a big difference between orphan kids and
    kids from a healthy middle class family, or between kids born in
    Zimbabwe and kids born in Germany. However, it doesnt mean
    that if a person is in a poor situation he/she has to wait a superior
    to help him because if I have more, for example, that must mean
    Im a better person than someone who doesnt.
    To sum up, I think even if we are born in a poor place or in
    a poor family, we have to be ambitious and we have to raise our
    level and find the best way to follow in life.
