Given the subject line, this requires a disclaimer. I do not mean that we are not the same by race, gender, or other demographic measure. In those areas, we are equal. However, we are not the same.
My experience of my life is that people are not all the same. We all have the same opportunity to become worthy. However, all do not take it. Some will rise to the occassion as he says in Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium to become the best version of themselves. Others will resort to their base programming or choices. However, all will define themselves by their actions.
Some will value others. Some will value themselves. Some will look to elevate others. Some will elevate themselves. Some will look to accuse blame. Some will assume blame to clear others. However, all will act differently based upon their nature. And, all should not be treated as equal in the response.
In our age of equality, we like to say that all are equal. That is true for demographic measures. However, if I'm in a restaraunt and the waitress does an exceptional job, I'm going to give them a bigger tip. Not everyone gives the same effort or attention to detail. Those that do, deserve a bigger reward.
So.. this is a little post, simply to say that we are not all the same. Some actually deserve a response, while other deserve exclusion.
