Equality means equal rights and equal opportunities. It surely doesn’t mean that everybody has to live the same life. It doesn’t mean that every person has to dress a similar way, think a similar way, express in the same way, or trust the same mistakes. It doesn’t mean that nobody can be distinct, or special, or different from people around them. If the whole world is enforced to be the same person and live the same way, then there is no liberty. And the ill use of the idea of equality to mean similarity has been used just to do this. Destroy freedom in the communities in which this misuse of the idea of equality is being practiced. These equality quotes will teach the way equality works.
