News alert! Equality is a myth. You and I are not equal. And no one else is your equal either. Or mine. And we will never be equal. NEVER.
And that’s not a bad thing.
I’ve worked a lot of different jobs in my time here on planet Earth. The one vocation that stuck was singer songwriter. I’ve driven trucks, forklifts, tractors, motorcycles, all kinds of “cycles” and vehicles. And I’ve been a finish carpenter, a family photographer, a bartender, a construction detailer, a junk mail machine operator, and an awards jewelry maker (don’t ask). AND I’ve been a milkman, a college student, a hamburger flipper at McDonald’s. Plus, I’ve been a grocery store sacker and stocker, a “utility” guy at Sears (I gathered trash and bound it up in those giant bundles…after school and on Saturdays), a hay hauler, a sodbuster, and a paper boy. AND I’ve been a mortgage inspector, a furniture refinisher, and general handyman. Oh yeah, I’ve also been a copywriter, a jingle writer, a voiceover specialist, video editor, podcast creator and host.
And I’m probably leaving at least a couple out. But the only one that stuck for a long time was singer songwriter.
And that list proves equality is a myth.
Because the list of jobs you’ve had probably isn’t that many. Or, even if you’ve had that many, they weren’t the same. And even if, by some miracle, you had exactly the same jobs, you didn’t have them in the same order and for the same amount of time.
But, even beyond all that glut of information is the fact that I wasn’t even equal to myself. Much less equal to anyone else in those roles. Some jobs I did very well. Others I didn’t do well. And none of them made me who I truly am.
And that brings me to where equality is NOT a myth.
The value of your life. And mine. That’s where we’re exactly equal.
Because God created us. And because He’s eternal, He put that eternity into each and every one of us.
Well we’re equal when we’re born; so some famous men have said.
But there’s still some crazy notions in a lot of people’s heads.
They don’t want to face the future while they’re living in the past.
We’ve got to learn to live together and we’ve got to make it fast.
Do you think that God in Heaven would be proud of what he sees?
I think He wants us all to stop and get rid of this disease.
