Equality

Some people believe that they can achieve anything. They think they can be better than anyone they have encountered in their lives. However, this is never the case. They will always be some people achieving better things, doing things that they cannot do. Even still, when the cold truth is staring right at them they never seem to open their eyes and admit some people are just superior than they are.
In some situations it is admirable to have a good optimistic point of view on life.
"Be confident,  have charm, be humorous then you will  get the girl."- as my friend told me. Need I remind you he has a distinct Caucasian face, and he lives in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. When I told him, "but you have foreign features." He said distinctly, " why do you bring up race? looks don't matter, all you gotta have is charm and confidence." if it was true, how come more people are drawn to him than other mongolians? Nonetheless, he overlooked the fact people tend to notice things out of the ordinary. Like in a plain, a person does not notice single individual grasses that, they notice flowers that have bold colors and scarce.
Granted he was just trying to boost my moral, which I did not need. He did not seem to understand the part where some people are just born different. These differences are the key, that some people don't want to see.
We are born different, so that some Homo Homo Sapiens can  weed out bad and attract the best mate for themselves, that their offspring will have more advantage of finding a better mate and prosper in life. This is proven fact, Darwin himself would agree. These differences gives some of us an edge, or head start in life, granted it can also be hindrance. it's just matter of fact on how we use those qualities in life, the color of your skin, your height, your gender.
Equality - "This is the written account of Adam’s family line .When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God." (Genesis 5:1) Thus my friend continue to say, "we maybe born different and have different fortunes, but we all have equal opportunities, no matter if we look different, in height, and in weight. We can all achieve, we just need to try hard to prosper." True, some people just need to work harder to get somewhere in life if they don't have look's they can utilize their intellect (if they have one), some can utilize their height and become a world renowned jockey, some can use their hirsutism to become a circus act. However, not everyone has that privilege to become equal's among other people. Some people who are born with hereditary diseases are not not born equal, no matter have hard they try they will be never be considered equal or normal. No matter how some people try and help them coop, and make them happy, some of them will never have equal opportunities to get in life. My friend will never understand how some of those people are treated differently in life, and how lucky he is sometimes (He is ostracized sometimes for his looking different). I have yet to see a person who is born with extra limbs or no limbs at all become an equal star as Madonna, Elton John, or like Ringo Star. You would not want to see blind man operating vehicle that require sight. however, I'm very glad that Dennis Hong and his team of engineers are developing car for the blind.
Nonetheless some people are born so lucky in life that they do not need  try to prosper in life. For example, if I were born to rich family and I do not have good lucks, good health, good fat to height ratio, and don't have any great characteristics I would have to try at all to get what I want, I would attract the best looking mates would good health (probably not good intellect). Still, i have gained more than others by not doing anything granted I was slob with money.
Some people will never understand how other's try even harder just to be considered equals, and for some it is even difficult for those who have impairments.
We are never born equal, we can try to be better than others, but some of us are just born better. And, please don't say we are all equals, no we are not, I could never understand on how woman feels, because I'm not woman. Moreover, I don't want to be equals also, it is a good thing that we are all different, I don't want be inside a blank canvas I want to be in a mosaic. that's why Communism failed, but it is not good thing to discriminate others for their faults and things they cannot control, but just don't let them astray and make them believe that they can conquer the world. Voltaire once said, "All the citizens of the state cannot be equally powerful, but they may be equally free." So people please do not preach we are equal when we are clearly not equals. If your down and about and a person who is taller than you and better looking than you says, " hey take it easy, you will achieve great things I just know it." just say, "I will once your dead." 

Note: I did not write this because I'm depressed, or very crude looking, or have been dumped. I wrote this just to state the facts and cause just wanted to.

Philosophy

Philosophy in it's simplest form: If you were to ask me about what is philosophy, I would not have a very good definitive answer. But, what I can do is quote a great philosopher on what he thought about philosophy.

Bertrand Russell said, "Between theology and science there is a No Man's Land, exposed to attack from both sides, this No Man's Land is Philosophy"

Such a simple quote, sums such a great premise. It almost gives you very good sense of what is the purpose of philosophy.
