I was drowning on my thought recently about these post from @tarazkp and a replied made by
@mortezayousefi
These has been on my mind. So am putting it out here too. The way people are count according to what they contribute, what they own and where they come from calls for attention.
These is only trying to say that some lives matter more than others.
I think that is one of the most dangerous ideas a society can accept.
There is definitely a problem
The moment a human's value becomes only dependent on what they can provide, there is already a problem. A person who has money is listened to differently. A person with influence is treated differently. A person with nothing is expected to endure things that would be considered unacceptable if they happened to someone more important.
The disturbing part is how normal this has become.
That makes me wonder whether inequality is really about money alone.
The deeper problem is that we have created different levels of human importance.
We definitely have a problem
Once that happens, suffering itself becomes unequal. The pain may be identical, but the reaction to it is different. The loss may be equally devastating to the families involved, yet one loss can shake institutions while another barely moves public attention.
I think we have become trained to care selectively.
We are being taught what deserves our attention and what does not. We learn whose opinions are worth hearing, whose struggles deserve investigation and whose struggles can simply be explained away.
The fact that another person's life carries the same weight as everyone else should never be forgotten .
