All men are created equal

No civilization or culture has ever been able to eliminate human wretchedness and melancholy; no political system can liberate us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our cravings for the superlatives.

After watching Masaki Kobayashi’s film – The Human Condition, one can comprehend that it is the human condition that gives direction to the social condition, not the other way round.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed - Thomas Jefferson (1776).

While it may be the truth that all men were born equal but what separates them is politics, ideologies, religion, caste, creed, race and finance.
