Tonight I learnt a very important lesson and that is equality is the application of sacrifice. I really had never heard about the expression until now and it made me stop and really think about the things that comes to us as we face life's journey and how we look at them.
To quote what was told to me - "Lets say by the GRACE OF GOD I inherit a million dollars, do you really think God would give me that and not have a job for me to do with it?" This made me reflect on how people will look at this and each comes up with a different explanation as to why they come in for the money and what they would do with it.
How does this relates to equality and sacrifice you ask. It relates in that, as much as we may have all this money and resources to do as we please, it can also be beneficial if used for the well being and welfare of others; thus making us sacrifice something we would otherwise wished to have utilized a portion of it for. In this way we not only give our self a emotional lift, a do good feeling; but also we lift others up with us as well as we show them how they too can reach the heights we have attained or the level of success we are striving for by our sacrifice.
I must add that it is not often in this life you find someone who share the same beliefs and thought process as yourself; much less someone who is taking the same journey as you are and whose only wish - like yours - is to be in a stable environment and to remain humble, no matter what level of success you both achieve in this life.
