Everyone is different
Everyone is different. Don't mix up that difference with good and bad, and superior and inferior. Whatever differences we may have, we are all equal. No distinction of rank for people. Idealistically speaking, I suppose so. But aren't we trying to have an honest discussion about reality now? Would you really say, for instance, that I, an adult, and a child who is still struggling with his arithmetic are equal? In terms of the amount of knowledge and experience, and then the amount of responsibility that can be taken, there are bound to be differences. However, such things shouldn't have anything to do with human values. My answer is the same. Human beings are all equal, but not the same. Instead of treating the child like an adult, or like a child, one must treat him or her like a human being. One interacts with the child with sincerity, as another human being just like oneself. Let's change the question. All people are equal. They're on the same level playing field
