We're not created equal as humans and even the world we live in doesn't give room for equality. There are different angles to examine if humans are equally created which includes our birth, growth, mental and physical capabilities, and despite putting all of these into consideration, the fact for me remains that we are not equally created.
Let's consider things from the birth of twins, these are children that are born from the same womb. They are been born at different times and if you take a proper record of their growth, you will find out lots of differences. They begin to walk and even speak at different times.
I used to know a particular twins when I was a teenager, they were in different classes in school which means that their mental capabilities are different. They have different talents, weaknesses, and strengths as well. If we can see so much difference in twins, how do we explain that all humans are created equally?

Our society today is another gauge to check if we are been created equally. We have the famous people and those who aren't, there are the rich and poor, there are those with numerous opportunities to fulfill their dreams and there are people with zero opportunity.
In the society we live in, even the human rights aren't equal. Yes, there are fundamental human rights that have led many people to their early graves.
You have the right to vote and be voted for after reaching a certain age but do you know how many people lost their lives all in the name of exercising their right?
You have the right to this and that but some set of citizens can deprive you of those rights just because they are wealthy or influential so where is the equality?
We have set terrible standards that have made the inequality in the society visible enough to everyone but we can't practice our freedom of speech to speak against the bad figures in the society because of the fear of being silenced like what happened at the Lekki toll gate on the 20th of October 2020 so where is the equality?
Equality before the law doesn't even exist because of bribery and corruption, we have seen innocent people suffer crimes they never committed while the culprits are walking freely, putting all these together has made it clear that we were not created equally and humans will never be equal no matter what we do.
Although some levels of equality can be restored but I can confidently say that the society is not ready for such.
Doing away with any form of discrimination or racism can go a long way in restoring some equality in the world. Religion, financial ability, skin color, and beliefs are things that have tampered with equality in today's society, and we have a lot of work to do on these things if we ever want to experience any form of equality. Things are so messed up in the world that we even practice gender and the question that I have always ask myself is how did we arrive here?
Doing away with our differences is one effective way I believe equality can be restored to some extent but still, humans can never be equal.
