I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world that
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive ...

Ordinary World - Duran Duran

egalitarian |iˌgaləˈterēən| adjective of, relating to, or believing in the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities.

But - are people really equal? Morally, emotionally, intellectually? And if not, then why should everyone be treated equally? What happens when someone kicks you in the backside? What is "correct" and "appropriate" for one usually doesn't make sense to another. Do you continue to be a "chay" and go out of your way for them and treat them as equally as you would someone who hasn't YET kicked you in the backside? Vaisay, it's all merely a matter of time - sooner than later, everyone WILL kick you in the backside. It's all about timing and learning to sidestep the really brutal kicks.

Do your kids a favour ... don't teach them that honesty, goodness, patience, and hard work pay off. This is a fairytale. I am not suggesting that lies, nastiness, and slacking off are the way to go - however, if you plan to be decent and reside on the "stupid" side of the moral twilight zone, please don't expect life to work out for you - it just doesn't.
